SANDSTONE AND lliAP. 
10th December 1819» — From Hiissingabad, for two or 
three stages, Sandstone ; near the Nerbuddah, singularly 
elevated towards the east, forming an angle of upwards of 
45°, with an abrupt face gradually falling oif to the west. 
12th SflZth. — About half way in some of those marches, 
a rock at the surface, resembling the trap of Baitool, and 
containing veins of calcareous spar. — Black clay earth in the 
plains. — Hills of moderate height. — Abundance of agates 
and chalcedony in this clay soil, and evidently derived froni 
the decomposition of the greenstone rock. 
22d. — Sangor. The appearance of the rocks to this place 
continue all the way as already described. At Sangor, hovr- 
ever, trap is very abundant, forming large ridges, and 
mingling with sandstone. On the plain, in front of the 
cantonments, a conglomerated sandstone, containing frag- 
ments of quartz, of a red and grey colour ; and in the soil, 
saw masses of radiated and fibrous calcareous spar. 
26th. — From Sangor to Huttah, in Bundlecund. Trap 
twelve miles to Sanonda, first march.-— A singular white 
rock, near Puterea, between that village and Saipore, 
appears to be flesh-coloured flint, decomposing at the 
surface. Sandstone at Puterea. Between Puterea and 
Mirsinghur cross the Sonaur river, the bed of which is 
grey-coloured compact secondary limestone, apparently of 
good quality ; occasionally schistus, and much mingled 
with the calcareous rock, particularly as we approach Mir- 
singhur : this schistus in horizontal layers. 
From Mirsinghur, plains showing limestone at the sur- 
face, and coarse schistus, with occasional sandstone; far- 
ther on, sandstone predominating, and giving the character 
to the country, in the bleak aspect, and aptitude for the 
resort of bustards^ in this respect resembling the plain at 
Lohargong.
