13. Grit, with band of calcareous concretions, some quite gritty. 
12. Shales, grey and huff. 
11. Ditto, buff, reddish, with gritty partings, locally. 
10. Grit, hard, purple, browm. 
9. Calcareous concretions, band of, with much kunkur. 
8. Shales, sandy or clayey, buff, yellow, grey, white. 
7. Grit, hard, purple, orange. 
6. Shales, clayey, grey, white, with bands of ferruginous concretions. 
6. Grit, hard, purple, brown. 
4. Ditto, mottled (with gneiss pebbles). 
3. Ditto hard, thin-bedded, orange and purple. 
2. Shales, clayey and sandy, grey, mottled, with s.andstone partings. 
1. Grit, semi-compact, mottled, purple, buff, orange, grey and white, with fragments 
of felspar, ferruginous concretions, and much kunkur. 
Gneiss. 
Tlio succession of the hods in the upper or northern part of the section is obscure, 
but they seem to succeed each other regularly, and to abut against the gneiss, 
which hero rises in a steep bank. The mineral character of the different beds 
changes so rapidly, that it is Tery difficult to trace them with certainty where the 
sections arc not very clear and distinct. 
A little to the east of the above section the basement bod is of a biught blood-red 
withgrey and white .specklings, and the representative of No. 3 on rich red or purple 
srrit. The boulder bod, so characteristic elsewhere, does not occur in this section. 
Fossils are not numerous in this part of the Kari patch; the only one found 
bv me was a rather fine frond of Otozamites, procured from the buff shale bed 
No. 8. 
IV.— The CooDiCATJD-Kur.LrAUDT Patch. 
The greatest development of the boulder bed at base of the plant series is to 
be seen to the north-west of Coodicaud, and hero, as near Ootatoor, the included 
boulders are greatly decomposed. The spaces between the boulders are occupied 
by a fine silt of buff or brownish yellow colour. The following section of the 
lower part of the series was observed in a I’ain gully east of lyalur (Aiyalui’) : 
Section No. 5. 
6. Grit, greenish, yellow. 
6. Ditto, ditto and drab. 
4. Limestone, coarse concretionary, dull-brown, with badly preserved traces of plants. 
3. Grit, buff. 
2. Grit, silty, buff, with much kunkur. 
1. Boulder bed, with buff'silt. 
The impressions of plants in the limestone are not recognisable. The becks roll 
about at low angles, but have a general low clip south-eastward. The upper bed 
is covered by cotton soil, wffiich extends for a considerable distance eastward. 
Further to the north-east the pilant series is more fully exposed in numerous deep 
rain gullies, and shows, as pointed out by Mr. Blanford, “ alternations of mica¬ 
ceous shales and grey sandstones and grits with great gritty calcareous concretions.”
