submetamorphic series is not certain, although there is no assignable reason for supposing 
them different. 
Talchies. —In the S akri Nadi, south of Dabar, there are some small patches of 
slightly micaceous huff sandstone, rather fine-grained, hut containing abundant rolled pebbles 
and small boulders ol' granite, gneiss, mica-schist, &c. In parts, the greater portion of the 
rock consists of pebbles, in other places it is quite free from them. The beds, which arc not 
more than 20 feet thick in all, are level as a whole, hut rolling on a small scale, and are 
lithologically perfectly similar to Talchirs. Mr. Willson, however, higher up the same 
stream, as well as in other places, found two sandstones, the upper resting unconformably on, 
and containing numerous pebbles of the lower, which is clearly Talchfr. It is not 
perfectly certain to which of these the sandstone in question belongs, but as I observed no 
sandstone pebbles in it, it is most probably Tale hi r. Small patches of similar rock are 
found south of D e o t h a n and cast of P i h r a.
