subterranean cave-temples, both in the Uparikot itself and in the 

 lower ground on the north. This is supposed to have been mainly 

 the work of the Buddhists, and, in that case, it must have been 

 executed at least a thousand years ago : probably it is even older 

 than this. Some portions are still in a state of good preservation. 



III. Other Kathiawar Rocks of Similar Character. 



I was able to examine a somewhat similar limestone, of no very 

 great thickness, near Chorwar Road Station, on the Junagarh & 

 Verawal Railway, about 6 miles from the sea-shore. It rests on 

 the Tertiary beds that fringe the southern coast of Kathiawar.

Specimens IV & V, 279 M & 0, from this locality gave respectively 

 3 and nearly 6 per cent, of insoluble residue. Examination of thin 

 sections and residue showed grains of quartz, sometimes rounded 

 and sometimes angular, and occasional flakes of plagioclase, in 

 addition to a little ferruginous material and casts of organisms. I 

 -saw the same rock, with similar stratigraphical relations, extensively 

 developed near Una farther east, at about the same distance from 

 the sea.
