turbance since deposition : l)iit this would not lie tin; true thick- 
ness of Talcliirs at any one point. I have no exact data by 
which to estimate this, but I siiould be .surprised if it anywhere 
exceeds 500 feet. 
Tlie Tah'hirs, however, are by no means still in their orij^iuul 
positions ; for althou^di in iilaces they may

he apjiroxnnately horizontal, yet where a f^ood 
section is observed they usually show a suiall dip (up to 10') 
in a northerly direction (varvinf^ between north-west and north- 
east). Locally the di[)S may be much higher ; thus, in the Jiudra 
N. near Phunga the calcareous rocivs akeady referred to in the 
beginning of this section show dips varying from 30° to (50° to 
N. 35" E., although the general dip of the shales just here 
is very small. In a small nala N. E. of Nagar the Talchirs 
immediately overlying the dolerite sill show a dip of 20° — 25° to 
W. 35° N., whilst in the Gej Nala between Rakeya and Murnia, 
pebbly beds dip at about 40° to N. 40° E. At this particular 
point the high dip is probably connected with local disturbance, 
for, a little further upstream at about the junction between the 
Barakars and the Talchirs, Talchir shales are seen thrown into 
several small sliarp folds,— no less than six in the course of six 
yards. These folded shales abut abruptly against sandy shales, 
there being almost certainly a small north-westerly strike fault in the 
Talchirs at this point.
