There is but one other formation to be noticed. Scindiah’s territories include a small 
portion of the crystalline rock area of Bandelkhand. The relation 
of this rock to the Gwalior and the Vindhyan series has been 
noticed. The gneiss is often highly granitoid, but no intrusive granite has been detected. 
Bands of schists, sometimes hornblendic, occur occasionally, having an east-west strike. 
The most remarkable feature of this area is the number of great reefs of vein-quartz, form¬ 
ing narrow regular precipitous ridges, with a prevailing north-easterly direction. No trace 
of gold has ever been noticed about them. The gneiss is also much traversed by trap-dykes ; 
in these a north-westerly direction prevails. They have been found in some cases to traverse 
the quartz-reefs, and are, therefore, younger than these. But both reefs and dykes are older 
than any of the sedimentary formations in contact with this gneiss. At the western edge of 
the trap and Vindhyan plateau, there may be patches of crystalline rooks within the 
Amjhera and Javvad Nirnuch districts of Scindia’s territories.
