certain it was a trap, or metamorpkic stone; on burning, however, 

 it turned out a beautiful lime. Near the town are numbers of small 

 pits and burrows, but no large mines like those to the east. 



20th. — In the morning went to see the caves, the figures in them 

 very fine and imposing, as seen by torch-light, and the situation 

 very lovely ; the Baugun river seems to have no single fall, but a 

 continued rapid descent ; the cliff in which the caves are situated 

 consists of a mass of sandstones of all colours, sloping up to the N. 

 E. at a slight angle, and topped with a very hard and white friable 

 limestone, in which we found some shell impressions. About five 

 miles from Baug to the east of the Noonsee Road, is a quarry of 

 white sandstone, an even bedded and soft stone, which is still carried 

 a long distance for building purposes, it seems to be near the 

 bottom of the mass of sandstone. In the evening rode out towards 

 Cheeklee and Rajpoor, some 5 or 6 miles. 



21st. — This morning to the village of Auggur, N. E. of Baug, where 

 iron has been very largely worked. Ore in great abundance, also 

 the hard grey limestone. All about Baug E. and west is a bed of 

 shales, which seem to be nearly vertical, dipping to the S. or S. W. 

 at a very steep angle, the ore seems generally to be in them. 



22nd. — Eode out along the road to Cheeklee, west of Baug to the 

 village of Mogra, about ten miles distant. At about 6 miles, found 

 trap covering sandstone, up to that, the country having shewn nearly 

 alternately sandstones and limestones. In the afternoon leaving 

 Mogra, we went nearly north to the village of Kharrwa, and from 

 that E. to Baug seeiug limestones and sandstones all the way, 

 except one hiU capped with trap. 



23rJ. — Left Baug by the same road as entered it from Dherree 

 but struck off to the N. E. from the second village ; soon got into 

 the trap again, with sandstones under it. About half way to Bul- 

 warrie in the Ourie Nulla, near the village of Khojakoa, found a 

 considerable thickness of sandstones, dipping to the North and 

 thickly covered with trap. Near Bulwarrie saw some curious meta- 

 morphic rocks, looking rather like granite ; at Bulwarrie itself all 

 seemed trap. 



24ith. — Marched to Kutchkonda. Up to half way all seemed 

 trap, but after that we got into the coral limestones, and continued
