102 FOOTE : GEOLOGY OF THE BKLLARY DISTRICT. 



A haematite band which underlies this Bevihalli band in the high 



Hunshahuti haematite rid § e > but is there ver y inconspicuous, increases 

 hed - in importance to the northward and forms a 



narrow craggy ridge about ioo feet high to the north-westward of 

 Hunshahuti, a hamlet 2\ miles north by west of Raman Drug. The 

 rock here has changed into a hard ferruginous argillite of deep 

 brownish purple colour, with many included whitish specks of decom- 

 posing felspar. It is a remarkably handsome rock, but not tough 

 enough to be used for building purposes. 



A traverse I made over the Bevihalli ridge from the northern edge 



of the Sandur trapflow, starting from a little to 

 Bevihalli ridge section. 



the west of the 31st milestone on the direct high 

 road from Ettinahatti to Raman Drug and up the high ridge east of the 

 little tank (half a mile north of the road), gave the following section : — 



18. Trap, Hoshalli flow. 



17. Schist, dark green. 



16. Haematite quartzite, very jaspery. Much brecciated in parts. 



a. Trap, green and dirty. 



b. Quartzo-chloritic rock, coarse. 

 , Jc. Haematite bed, obscure. 



|rf. Trap. 

 e. Trappoid. 

 ./. Schist, purplish. 

 14. Trap. Sandur flow. 



The various beds bracketted together under No. 15 represent the 



lower schists of the Devadara ridge group, and would probably all be 



correlateable with the beds in the ridge south of the Narihalla if the 



latter could be cleared of the heavy talus which has fallen from the 



cresting haematite bed No. 16. 



B. — The Rdmgoly or North-Eastern Division. 

 Unlike the Raman Drug division, the Ramgol division does not 

 contain only a solitary ridge of great size and importance, for, in ad- 

 dition to the high main ridge, there are two considerable ridges 

 running parallel with it on the eastern side and forming features of 

 importance. Owing to the action of the torrents draining these outer
