[VOL. IV, 
The eastern or rather north-eastern limit of the sandstone area extends from the 
Godavery at Pondigul, 12 miles below Bhadrachallatn, through the western portion of the 
mass of hills which culminate at the trigonometrical station of Rajgota. The boundary 
passes a few miles east of Ashraopetta, and thence trends nearly due east in the direction of 
a point on the Godavery a little south of Polavaram. Whether it crosses the river has not 
been ascertained. 
This boundary also has only been most cursorily examined, and it is impossible at present 
even to guess whether Damuda beds occur along it or not. They are found on the north 
close to the Godavery, hut they appear to be wanting in the hills a few miles farther south. 
Some sandstones were seen near Ashraopetta which had the appearance of Barakars, but it 
should be repeated that after much experience of the two formations Barakar and Ktunthi, 
l confess myself often unable to distinguish between the sandstones which usually form the 
bulk of botli groups. I can only conclude that further examination of both boundaries, 
first geological and afterwards by boring, is requisite. This is especially a case in which 
research, to have any chance of success, must proceed on purely geological principles.
