SKETCH OF THE 



presented similar appearances, and we had also the usual ridge-shaped 

 hills, and some were conicaL 



On approaching (S'ozm/?, these detached ranges were still very numer- 

 ous, and the secondary ranges, described in page 56, were seen passing off 

 in pairs from the range, at the base of which Soivdli is situated. I need 

 scarcely add that the word " secondary'' has no reference, in this place, to the 

 rocks of which the hills are formed, but is merely used as a relative term 

 to express the connexion of these ranges with the greater range. These 

 secondary ranges, then, are not continued far, but terminate a short dis- 

 tance to the south. Their summits present various appearances, — some are 

 flattened or slightly rounded, and are bounded on either side by nearly 

 perpendicular smooth crags which rise abruptly from the slope. Others 

 are ridge-shaped, while others are slightly denticulated. 



The rocks which present themselves are small grained granitic rocks, 

 the quartz and felspar being by far the most abundant ingredients, and 

 these are associated with micaceous schists and quartz rocks. Succeed- 

 ing these, the quartz formation of Sdhar occurs. 



The above is all the information which I can give relative to the 

 Geology of this district. My communication has already been extended 

 beyond the limits which I at first proposed for myself, and my concluding 

 observations shall be few and general. 



In the northern portion of this district, I stated that beds of marble 

 and serpentine are found, excepting, however, the marble formation of 

 KanlmrauU. I have not had an opportunity of examining these, and shall 

 therefore content myself with remarking, that marble appears to be plen- 

 tiful in the northern portions, both of Ajmer and Jaypun
