  GEOLOGY 
  OF 
  KATHIAWAR 
  PENINSULA 
  IN 
  GUZERAT. 
  

  

  There 
  can 
  be 
  little 
  doubt 
  that 
  the 
  Piram 
  beds 
  are 
  a 
  marine, 
  or 
  at 
  

   least 
  estuarine 
  formation 
  (though 
  the 
  terrestrial 
  remains 
  indicate 
  the 
  

   near 
  existence 
  of 
  land), 
  and 
  that 
  they 
  are 
  one 
  and 
  the 
  same 
  formation 
  as 
  

   that 
  of 
  the 
  Gogha 
  mainland, 
  in 
  which, 
  however, 
  the 
  ferruginous 
  conglo- 
  

   merates 
  are 
  less 
  conspicuous, 
  and 
  fossil 
  bones 
  very 
  rare. 
  

  

  Following 
  down 
  the 
  coast, 
  we 
  find, 
  at 
  Mitiwiri, 
  a 
  rusty 
  brown 
  hard 
  

   Coast 
  rocks 
  south 
  of 
  g 
  ru 
  ^ty 
  sandstone 
  with 
  vertical 
  annelid 
  tubes,

  in 
  the 
  nala. 
  In 
  the 
  scarp 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  hard 
  

   by, 
  are 
  seen 
  about 
  30 
  feet 
  of 
  beds 
  of 
  similar 
  rock, 
  having 
  woody-looking 
  

   markings, 
  with 
  gravelly 
  runs 
  and 
  coarse 
  parts 
  of 
  quartz 
  pellets 
  well 
  

   polished, 
  and 
  small 
  agates 
  ; 
  loose 
  gravel 
  also 
  occurs 
  between 
  the 
  harder 
  

   beds. 
  This 
  rock 
  probably 
  represents 
  the 
  agate 
  conglomerate 
  mentioned 
  

   before. 
  No 
  other 
  rock 
  is 
  seen, 
  and 
  sand-drifts 
  and 
  dunes 
  fringe 
  the 
  

   shore 
  ; 
  but 
  below 
  high- 
  water 
  mark 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  very 
  ferruginous 
  raggy 
  

   gritty 
  sandstone.

  In 
  the 
  stream-course 
  at 
  Jiiinjhka, 
  near 
  Dongar 
  west 
  of 
  Mhowa, 
  some 
  

   masses 
  of 
  yellow-buff 
  marly 
  limestone 
  are 
  seen 
  resting 
  on 
  soft 
  argil- 
  

   laceous 
  rock 
  not 
  well 
  exposed. 
  In 
  the 
  limestone 
  an 
  Ostrea, 
  some 
  small 
  

   corals, 
  and 
  other 
  minute 
  marine 
  organisms, 
  were 
  detected 
  ; 
  and 
  some 
  

   detached 
  masses 
  of 
  coral, 
  lying 
  about 
  in 
  the 
  stream 
  course, 
  were 
  evidently 
  

   derived 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  rock. 
  Among 
  the 
  specimens 
  collected, 
  the 
  coral 
  

   Stylocania 
  vicaryi, 
  Haim., 
  has 
  been 
  determined. 
  

  

  An 
  outcrop 
  of 
  Graj 
  rock 
  is

  seen 
  for 
  some

  the 
  bank 
  of 
  

   Fossil

  of

  of 
  the 
  village,

  about 
  6 
  miles 
  north 
  of 
  Jaferabad. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  yellow 
  marly 
  limestone, 
  

   with 
  numerous 
  fossils 
  ; 
  indeed 
  this 
  locality 
  proved 
  the 
  most 
  productive 
  of 
  

   any 
  in 
  eastern 
  Kathiawar.
