those of the Infra-Trias limestone. This is sufficiently 

 illustrated by the map, where the two colours represent- 

 ing them lie touching one another on one or more sides. 

 This seems to shew incontestibly that there is a connec- 

 tion of some sort between the two. 



(2) From the section through the Infra-Trias band at Sobruh 



Gulee there does not seem to be any place in the series 

 between the basal conglomerate and the limestones of 

 the Infra-Trias for such enormous thicknesses of the 

 Tanol quartzites. 



(3) The sections through the ridge north of Teer, on the suppo- 



sition that the conglomerate found in connection with 

 the Infra-Trias limestone is the basal conglomerate, 

 similarly give us no room in the series below the lime- 

 stone for these great piles of strata. Thus we seem 

 driven to conclude that the Tanols must be either 

 contemporaneous or younger than the Infra-Trias lime- 

 stone of the Sobruh and Teer bands. 



(4) In the Doodha-Burkot area the Infra-Trias limestone in 



appearance seems to overlie the Tanols in the neigh- 

 bourhood, but without any trace of a basal conglomerate 

 or sandstone, but with quite different lowermost beds (see 

 ante, p. 234). From this one might expect that the 

 Doodha-Burkot Infra-Trias limestone band is younger 

 than the two southern bands, and that much of what 

 is called Tanol quartzites have a position between the 

 two. This supposition on the whole seems best to fit in 

 with facts. 



(5) On their northern side the Tanols merge into the more 



ancient crystalline schists in a peculiar way. That 

 shearing and reversed faulting has been the main agent 

 in bringing this about I have no doubt, but actual proof 

 is wanting. The northern junction line of the Tanols 

 against the older schists is therefore vague and indefinite,
