LA TOUCHE : GEOLOGY OF NORTHERN SHAN STATES. 



outcrop is much concealed by jungle and rainwash, along the Gov- 

 ernment cart-road and the lanes leading towards Padaukpin, for a 

 distance of over a mile ; that is to say, to within half a mile of 

 the Calceola beds at the latter place ; but a shallow ravine then 

 crosses the line of strike, and is so choked with vegetation that 

 the relations of the one deposit to the other cannot be made out. 

 The beds dip gently to the north, towards the base of the scarp. 



. and are evidently faulted against it. Their 



true horizon would therefore probably lie some- 

 where above the limestone which forms this scarp. In the direction 

 of Padaukpin they show some indications of an easterly dip, as 

 if they might, if continued, underlie the Calceola beds, but it is 

 not by any means certain that a fault does not occur in the 

 interval between them, and moreover the character of the fauna 

 points to a higher position in the series. 



The fossils collected from these shales were submitted to
