Eocene (e).—Underneath the nummulitic limestones occur a series of rocks which differ 
from them very much in their lithological characters, and to no inconsiderable extent, too, 
apparently, in their fossil contents. 
But these rocks, so far as is known, contain no fossils whose occurrence would be incon¬ 
sistent with their being referred to the tertiary period, and it would appear that lithologically 
similar rocks have been met with elsewhere underlying the limestones, and which have 
been considered to belong to the nummulitic series. Adopting this view (with the under¬ 
standing that some of the lower portion of this succession in which my very cursory 
examination did not result in the discovery of any fossils may hereafter yield evidence of 
their belonging to the cretaceous or some older formation) I shall proceed to describe the 
sections as I saw them. 
Underneath the limestones which, as I have above said, occur at Kadji, there appear some 
earthy alum shales followed by sandstones and shales. These beds dip at angles as high as 
70° away from the main axis of the Suliman. After crossing some hundreds of feet in 
thickness of the upturned edges of these rocks, badly preserved fossils commence to shew 
themselves in the sandstones, and fragments of a thin layer of densely compacted oysters are 
met with scattered over the surface of the ascent. Associated with this layer ai'e some 
shales, and it is probably on this horizoD some few miles to the north of Kadji that the 
coal mentioned on p. 146 occurs, I started one evening to visit this coal, but my guide so 
managed matters that we never reached our destination. The following day I was dissuaded
