was informed by Dr. Jerdon who had just traversed this country that 

 he had there seen ferruginous sandstone of great thickness, and also 

 that it contained some thin seams of coal. 



The river bed at Dewulmuree is entirely composedof altered rocks , 

 inclined at a very high angle, amongst them the Kota limestone and 

 its accompanying red clays can be clearly made out, also in the jun- 

 gle path between Dewulmuree and Aheree, they are again seen much 

 broken up and disturbed— (Fig. 1) is a section taken along this 

 road. 



In the papers published in the transactions of the Geological So- 

 ciety* on the Geology of the neighbourhood of Nagpore, it is stated 

 that the Godavery sandstones extend into the district around Nag- 

 pore, the series there detailed is ferruginous sandstone, laminated 

 sandstone, clay shale and limestone, the limestone being the lowest 

 in the order of superposition, according to this description the series 

 at Nagpore can hardly be identical with that of the Godavery as it 

 will be observed that the relative position of the sandstone, and 

 limestone series is reversed at Kota, the limestone being upper- 

 most. I observed in the hills above Kota to the N. E. or deep of 

 the limestone, beds of sandstone, but I considered the evidence to- 

 lerably conclusive of their being upheaved and not overlying beds, 

 being on the opposite side of the line of fault I have before allud- 

 ed to, to that of the limstone.
