1853.] Report on the Geological Structure of the Salt Range. 231 



As I was ordered to resume my medical duties at the close of my 

 field work, it was necessary that the sections which accompany the 

 report should be prepared before I separated from my assistants, 

 who were directed to remain at Pind Dadun Khan. 



These were hurriedly drawn in camp by Mr. Theobald from rough 

 sketches made by myself in the field, and must be considered rather 

 as sketches than true sections, which without the necessary data at 

 the time as to heights and distances, it was impossible to have con- 

 structed. 



The table of heights calculated from barometric and thermome- 

 tric observations will, I trust, prove interesting as well as useful. 

 I need hardly remark that they can only be considered as rough 

 approximations. 



A complete collection, for submission to Government, of the rocks, 

 minerals, and fossils collected during my survey has been prepared, 

 and, in compliance with Government orders, collections, illustrative 

 of the mineral wealth of the Salt Range, have also been made for the 

 museums of the Asiatic Societies of Beugal and Bombay and of the 

 Agra College. 



The preparation of my report and the examination and arrange- 

 ment of my specimens have occupied entirely my leisure hours 

 during the past hot season. I am aware that numerous imperfec- 

 tions are to be found in it, but in judging of its merits or demerits, 

 I trust it may be borne in mind, that I have been in a position 

 where books of reference or collections for comparison are quite 

 inaccessible, and have consequently been entirely dependent on my 

 own resources.

On the General Physical features of the Salt Range in the Punjaub. 



The hills, generally included under the designation of the Pun- 

 jaub Salt Range, occur in the northern part of the Sinde Saugor 

 Doab, or distinct between the rivers Jhelum and Indus, crossing it 

 from E. to W. between the parallels of 32° 22' and 33° N. Latitude 



and 71° 30 and 73° 30 / E. Longitude.
