I.— Valley of the Jhelam and KashmIr. 
I have first to correct the map published in the “ Geology of the Pir Panjal” 
in a veiy important point. In that map the beds at the MozafEarabad bend of 
the Jhelam, north of the Mari (Mnrree) gi’onp, are classified as belonging to the 
Suhathu group. These beds consist of limestones mingled -with a few slaty 
shales, and veiy strongly resemble the rocks of the latter group. At my first visit 
I found a few nummulites near the junction of the red clays and limestones, and I 
thought that they must have been derived from the latter. Last spring, however, 
I again crossed the river at hlozaffarahiid, and after making a very careful exami¬ 
nation of the limestone gi'oup, I came to the conclusion that this did not contain 
nummulites, but that those which I found on my previous visit must have been 
derived from the red clay series. 
The limestones and slates of Mozaffarabad agree very closely in general 
mineralogical characters with the Uri limestones described in my paper on the 
Pir Panjal, and I have therefore come to the conclusion that the two must be 
referred to the same hoiizon. It is not possible, however, to trace the two 
continuously together, as to the south-east of Mozaffarahad the slates of the 
Kaj-Nag come into contact with the red rocks of the Mari group. 
Slates similar in character to those of the Kaj-Niig range, associated with 
newer rocks, occur in the Hazara district to the south of MozafEarabad, wLich are 
now in course of examination by Mr. Wj’nne. It seems therefore probable that 
the limestones of Uri and the slates of the Kaj-Nag sweep round the angle of the 
hlari rocks at Mozaffarahad, and are continuous with similar rocks forming the 
ranges of the Hazara district, w-hich have a north-easterly in place of the 
normal north-w'esterly Himalayan strike. 
In the above referred to map other Suhathu rocks are represented to the 
w-est of Dewal; these are on the strike of the ilozaffarabad limestones, and it is 
not improbable that they also belong to the same horizon. It must, however, be 
borne in mind, that further south to the west of Pindi on the same strike, dis¬ 
tinctly nummulitic limestones occur, and as there is great confusion of the rocks 
in many parts of this line, the position of those to the Avest of Dewal must for the 
present remain unsettled. 
In my last map^ the rocks on the left bank of the low'er part of the Sind valley 
were left uncolored; an examination of these rocks show's that they consist entirely 
of the slates and sandstones of the Panjal series, having a north-easterly dip at the 
Dal Lake. The rocks up the Tnil valley, between Srinagar and the Lidar valley, 
w'ere similarly left uncolored in the same map. These rocks I now' find consist en- 
thely of slates and sandstones, mingled here and there Avith the Pir Panjal amyg- 
daloids; they must doubtless all be referred to the Panjal series. The.se same 
rocks I have traced northAvards to the section Avhich I took last year betAveen the 
Lidai- and Sind valleys, and it is therefore apparent that the Avhole of the rocks
