traced on the south side of the narrow stream, its breadth inland, on the 

 northern side, was inconsiderable, as far as could be traced. This sand- 

 stone was much broken in all directions, and the fissures, horizontal and 

 vertical, were entirely filled with seams of lime about half an inch to an 

 inch in thickness. The western extremity of this sand-stone runs under the 

 Kanhdn, at a bend a little above the village of Kamti, forming a low 

 fall on the river, and was here covered by " earthy red iron ore,"* of great 

 density on the surface. 



No. 2 (C) These specimens of reddish granite, or granite passing into 

 gneiss, are from wells in the centre of cantonments ; they appeared to be 

 only thin strata or veins, as, after breaking through twelve or fourteen 

 feet, with very great difficulty, sand Avas met with underneath. 



No. 3 (D) The bluish-green coloured specimens, composed principally 

 of actinolite, were from a well almost adjoining, not more than two hundred 

 and fifty feet distant, all the rock of which was tinged blue. Nos. 4 and 

 5 (E) are specimens from a well further west. 



Due south of the well, whiclicontained the specimens No. 2, about two 

 hundred yards in some low ground, in opening an excavation for a tank, 

 decayed gneiss was found close under the surface, and to the extent to 

 which the tank was then excavated : the specimens No. 6, were called 

 by Dr. VoYSEY, " granite passing into gneiss, well defined gneiss, quartz 

 rock, red felspar, and green stone, the primitive trap of Werner." F.
