194 Mr. Verchere on the Geology of Kashmir, [No. 3, 



2. Pale limestone, weathering glaring white ; filled with geodes, lined with 

 small spar-crystals. No fossils. Dips S. 80°, ... ... ... 100 ft. 



3. Thin-bedded, shaly, striped limestone, ... ... ... 5 ft. 



Fault. It runs E. — W. and is about 10 feet wide at the top. It is filled with 



rocks similar to No. 3, folded in all directions. 



4. Limestone like 3 ; vertical, ... ... ... ... 15 ft. 



5. Pale limestone ; with geodes, like 2. Traces of fossils were observed, 

 but much altered and not recognizable, ... ... ... 100 ft, 



6. Pale blue, shaly limestone j dips N. 80°, ... ... ... 3 ft. 



7. Like 5 ; dips N. 80°, ... ... ... ... ... 50 ft. 



Fault ; it runs E.— W. 



8. Same as 7, ... ... ... ... ... ... 50 ft. 



9. Argillaceous, thin-bedded, pale grey limestone, breaking in flat thin pieces, 

 like pottery, ... ... ... ... ... ... 80 ft. 



10. Sandy limestone, hard and dark, ... ... ... 20 ft. 



11. Conglomerate limestone, varying from a coarse sandy limestone to 

 a perfect conglomerate, the pebbles being rounded, pieces of limestone im- 

 bedded in a soft calcareous paste. It contains many sections of the Aviculo- 

 pectens and other large bivalves peculiar to the Weean bed. Portions of the 

 bed are white and altered, ... ... ... ... ... 100 ft. 



12. Sandy, micaceous, limestone ; dark grey, ... ... 2 ft. 



13. White limestone ; no fossils, ... ... ... ... 15 ft. 



14. Argillaceous limestone, blue and pale ; weathering lustreless 



and velvety, ... ... ... ... ... ... 5 ft. 



15. Conglomeratip limestone like 11, ... ... ... 50 ft. 



16. Brecciated and sandy limestone ; sometimes a coarse calcareous sand- 

 stone, ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 5 ft. 



17. Ash-blue, pale, muddy limestone ; weathering lustreless, ... 25 ft. 



18. Brecciated and sandy limestone, ... ... ... 12 ft. 



19. Ash-blue, pale and muddy ; weathering lustreless, 25 ft. 



All these beds dip S. with an angle diminishing gradually from 80° to 35°. 



20. This bed is the top of a well defined anticlinal. The rock is a yellowish- 

 grey limestone, with rolled pieces of limestone imbedded. It is sandy, some- 

 times quite a sandstone, oftener a sandy impure limestone. It contains a great 

 many remains of fossils. The southern branch of the anticlinal dips S. 35° j 

 the northern branch dips N. N. W. 25°. There is therefore a squeezing of the. 

 strata at the western end of the strike, and a divergence or opening of the 

 fault at the eastern end. Thickness about 30 feet. 



Then we get a repetition of the beds seen before, as follows : 



21. Ash-blue, lustreless muddy limestone, ... ,., ... 25 ft. 



22. Brecciated and sandy limestone, ,,. ,„ t# , 12 ft. 



23. Ash-blue limestone, ... ... ,„ ... ... 25 ft. 



24. Brecciated limestone,.., It , ... ,,, ,., 5 ft.
