Note on the tertiary zone and underlying rocks in the north-west Panjab, 
by A. B. Wynne, F.G.S., Geological Survey, India. 
The object of these notes is to give some account of the westward continuation of the 
tertiary band which forms the subject of Mr. Medlicott’s paper on the Jamu Hills 
(Records, Yol. IX, p. 49), and is also referred to in Mr. Lydekker’s paper on the Pir Panjal 
(same volume, p. 155). 
Both of these papers deal with the tertiary rocks about the valley of the river Jhelum 
and to the south-eastward of that region, while I propose to consider those forming the Rawal¬ 
pindi plateau and stretching westward to the Afgh&n Frontier* 
Besides the two special papers mentioned, there are several others, amongst which those included in the 
following condensed list are of more or less importance, each containing some information about the district:—

(a.) In this paper a specimen of Myliolatis is said to have been sent by me from Each ; it is apparently from 
Ilatwar on the Salt Range, and was, I think-, collected by Dr. Waagen. 
. ^ van hige ma J be taken of this opportunity to amend a few passages in this paper by knowledge since 
obtained: p. 62, the Siwaliks being miooene is now doubtful (Mr. Lydekker’s papers, eit.). Table to face p. 63 , 
Ta » lin f? limestone is, according to Dr. Stoliezka, liassic ; but in comparing tbo Sir Ban section 
with the Ifimalayan scries it is placed as triassic, p. 64. Tbo Punch limestone has been since thought carboniferous, 
not Krol, p. 70. The conjecture as to there being hill-nnmmulitlc beds near Uri in Kashmir was not supported 
y a subsequent observation, p. 74. In the section at Dandli, the beds d3 have been found to overlie cl (Records, 
Vol. IX, p. 63). * 
(c.) Alterations necessary from subsequent information are mentioned in Mr. Medlioott’s paper on Jamb.
