Towardsthe west, the relics of this wall are seen in four great humps, at the topof which Katrol beds, with fragments of Per. torquatus, lie ; a bit loweron their inner face (S), the D.

O. and Anceps beds have been worn down almost to thelevel of the Bhuj plain, the high upstanding hill being of Vanguard orSub-Anceps type. But for about a mile in the middle, we find that the outermost rocks(N.) are dipping S., leaving a scarp exposed to the north. This seems tobe due to a secondary anticline, pushed up by the mass of hills behindand faulted, or more probably sea worn, for by following out the top ofthis ridge eastwards, a complete anticline, running parallel with the mainanticline, is observed. A. N. and S. section of the east and west ends,and of the middle appear thus :—. 26 420 JOURNAL, BOMBAY NATURAL HIST. SOCIETY, Vol. XXII. The N. syncline shown in Fig. ii is very conspicuous at a point S. of thevillage Bajocli. Here the Dhosa Oolite and the superjacent red Katrolbeds come to an end in the form of the end of a paper boat with steeplyinwardly-dipping sides ; and 200 yards from its upstanding curved endrises a biggish cone of Katrol beds, just like the mast of a paper boat—^asimilar but much wider basin appears at the west end of the syncline. The D. O. along this syncline is very hard and tough : few Ammoniteshave weathered out, but I have found what I believe to be Pelt, arduen-nense, Per. rota, and As2}. bahecmum, all known to be natives of D. The Athleta beds are here covered up with debris : but an Athletafragment was found on its expected level. Fragments of Per. ancepsand Per. obtusicosta were picked up on the Anceps beds. So far I have described the outer shell of the Ellipse. Now fo
