74 A. B. WYNNE ON SOME FEATURES IN THE
it should be remembered that the depth of this bay is twenty miles
on its shortest side, lying within British territory, on the right
bank of the Jhilam, that this side is there nearly a straight line, and
as strongly resembles a fault separating highly contorted rocks as any
other portion of the contact. Examined in the same way, other parts
of the junction lose much of their apparent sinuosity.
17. The sudden change in the direction of the ranges and strike of
the rocks in the Jhilam valley has been already mentioned

and in this
connexion it is somewhat singular to mark that on the further side
of that river from our district, in the tributary valley of the Poonch
(Kashmere), occurs the nearest instance of the unconformity con-
tended for by Mr. Medlicott, at a place called Dundelee. The strike
of the rocks (E. 35° S.) belongs to the same system as that of the
Himalaya east of the Jhilam valley

and the section as given in Mr.
Medlicott's report is extracted (fig. 5) for comparison with those

within our district (figs. 2, 3, and 4) and lying about 45 miles to the
west-north-west.
The " hard blue limestone," c 1 , in this section, taken by Mr. Med-
licott to represent his Krol subdivision, if it is the same as that of
Mochipoora Mountain (as may be gathered from a footnote at p. 92
of the Report), is most probably Nummulitic, or might also include
some of the Triassic limestones of that range

at any rate it would
appear to belong to the Hill-limestone rocks, c 2 is said to be com-
posed of " thin carbonaceous slaty shales," which, if they are the same
as those of Shah-durrah, mentioned in the succeeding passage, pro-
bably belong to the zone marked d? in the section fig. 5

indeed
this might be inferred from the parallelism to the latter which
Mr. Medlicott mentions, d 2 , red sandstone and clays, and d 3 , num-
mulitic clays (and limestones ?), are evidently the same as those of
the Murree beds previously described under letter E. If the slaty
shales c 2 pass conformably below .the limestone c 1 , they probably
represent some of the many hard splintery shaly beds of the Mochi-
poora nummulitic rocks.
Of course, without having seen the Dundelee section, these remarks
upon it are given with reserve

still it is much nearer to our district
than to the Simla area, and this must be the excuse for an attempt
to interpret it according to Upper-Punjab
