7. Upper primary carboniferous Limestone, full of Encrinites, 

 Producti, &c. 



^ N. B. In the Bukhh Ravine, 8 miles W. of line of section, this 

 limestone is magnesian, and appears to contain no fossils. 



8. Secondary, oolitic, yellow, ironrstained quartzose Sandstones, 

 Grits and bituminous Shales, containing masses of carbonized wood. 



9. Oolitic, cherty thin-bedded Limestones with a few shales. 



10. Lower tertiary eocene Alum Shales resting on a coarse and 

 highly fossiliferous limestone, containing Nummulites and large gast- 

 eropodous molluscoe. 



11. Lower nummulite Limestone; its lower beds an imperfect 

 conglomerate. 



12. Upper Alum Shales and blue Marl. 



13. Upper nummulite Limestone ; lower beds argillaceous, upper 

 compact nodules, and irregular-shaped masses of black flint abundant. 



14. Tertiary Miocene Sandstones, Grits, Conglomerates and red 

 Clays, containing mammalian bones, &c. 



a. a. Are faults. 



Table No. IX. 

 Section across the Chichalee Range on the W. bank of the Indus 

 as seen on the W. side of the Chichalee Pass. 



1. Primary carboniferous strata. These do not appear on the 

 surface along the line of section, but occur in the position represent- 

 ed in ravines, both E. and W. of the Pass. 



2. Oolitic, yellow, iron-stained quartzose Sandstones, Grits and 

 bituminous Shales. 



3. Oolitic cherty and shell limestones alternating with bitumin- 

 ous shales. The upper limestone beds contain Terebratute, Belem- 

 mtes, fragments of Echinidae, &c. 



4. Black Shales passing into a green ferruginous sandstone. 

 These beds contain Belemnites, Ammonites, Gryphe* and Saurian 

 teeth, bones, Ac, associated with fragments of carbonized wood. 



5. Iron-stained quartzose Sandstone, with fragments of jet. 



6. Lower Eocene Alum Shales, containing irregular beds or nests 

 of lignite. 



7. Lower Nummulite Limestone, its lower beds are imperfect 

 Conglomerates.
