rocks, as being the uppermost of the metamorpkic series, correspond well in position and 
character with the Bhebeh or Lower Silurian series of Dr. Stoliczka, who suggested (Notes 
on Western Himalaya, p. 350) that part of the metamorpkic rocks on this line belonged to 
the Silurian series. 
On the north side of the Banihal Pass there appears (as shown in the section) to he a 
faulted junction between the metamorphic and the carboniferous limestones of Kashmir 
(Godwin-Austen, sup. cit .); the limestone at the junction dips towards the pass at a high angle 
in the opposite direction to the dip of the metamorpkics. 
The gneiss ridge has nearly the same strike as the gneiss of the Dhaoladar range, and 
the Kiol limestone has the same relative position in regard to the Banihal gniess as the Krol 
limestone of Mr. Medlieott has to the Dhaoladar gneiss (Medlicott, Mem.) Geol. Surv. Ind., 
vol. Ill, map and sect., p. 63); and it is quite possible that the two series are contem¬ 
poraneous. Dr. Stoliczka has, however, attempted to correlate the Krol limestone with his 
Kuling (Triassic) series ; according to my view, however, the U'ri Kiol and Krol limestones 
are more likely to belong to the Bhabeh or Silurian series, forming an interrupted zone along 
the base of the Dhaoladar and Pir Panjal ranges for a long distance. 
On the low pass at Baramula, there occur large masses of modern strata of sand, clay, 
and very coarse gravel. These beds rise to a height of at least 500 feet above the present 
level of the river, and are tilted at an angle of about 9° to the eastward; many of the 
pebbles are crushed in situ. These beds are quite different in structure from the Kareewalis 
of the Kashmir valley, and differ also from the latter in being tilted. As none of the superfi¬ 
cial alluvium in the outer hills have been disturbed from their original horizontal position, it 
is, I think, probable that these Baramula beds are older, possibly Siwalik.
