village of Daroji the base of the Dharwars is ill seen, but in the low 

 hill half a mile north of the village the basement bed seen in contact 

 with the granite is trappoid in character and doubtless represents a 

 re-appearance of the Joga flow.

The Dharwar rocks here rest upon a rather smooth inclined plaue 

 similar in character to that forming the eastern slope of the Huchingi 

 Drug ridge, and to that dipping under the Dharwars at Golla Lingan- 

 halli at the south-eastern extremity of the Sandur synclinal. The 

 eastern end of the section disappears under surface deposits and is 

 completely lost to sight. The correlation of the beds here seen is 

 quite problematic. It may represent the whole synclinal, in which case 

 the numerous haematite quartzites forming the two w T alls of the fold 

 further to the south have died away, all but one on each side. The 

 two traps, 5 and 7 of the section, are identical in appearance, and 

 strongly suggest the idea of their being the sides of one and the same 

 folded bed. 



The basal trappoid is well seen at foot of the Hala Dehwalapur

which Newbold mentions as affording evidence of the irruptive 



character of the great mass of the granitoids. As a matter of fact,
