106 FOOTE: GEOLOGY OF THE BELLARY DISTRICT. 



northward from the northern edge of the trapflow No. 24 of the low 



level section, the following series was crossed: —

 15. Ditto with more gritty matrix, reddish, with drab and white 



beds very thick.

4. Schist, greenish,

The line of section I had to follow from the nature of the ground 

 diverged somewhat to the east near the top of the ridge, but pro- 

 bably not more than a quarter of a mile at the outside. North of 

 the ridge it trended west again to within 50 yards or so of the low 

 level section. 



The true conglomeratic character of the beds overlying the great 

 Breccia and conglo- breccia No. 14 is very marked. On many planes 

 merate ' of jointing capital sections of the included pebbles 



are to be seen. Some of the upper beds are very pebbly, and among 

 these I noticed two thin ones of reddish gritty sandstone, the psammitic 

 character being well brought out by weathering. The reddish beds 

 show the conglomeratic structure far more distinctly than do the 

 white or drab ones. The included pebbles consist of various schists, 

 quartz grit and banded hornstone. Some much weathered pebbles 

 seemed to be granitoid and gneissic, but the determination is doubtful. 



The sections in the valley of the two other branches of the Joga 



The Ramgol ravine stream are much less satisfactory, and the map is 



sectl0n ' very faulty, so I am doubtful as to further exact
