t strata occurred before the deposition of the next series. The Khirthar series inclnd.es in its highest portion a massive, paleor dark grey, hard, compact jSTummulitic limestone whose extremethickness is 3000 feet. It thins out to the south-west, and disap-pears within a distance of twenty-five miles of its greatest develop-ment. Other ISFummulitic limestone-beds are found, which may belower in the series ; and they and the main group are representedelsewhere by shaly limestones and sandstones with calcareous bands.In some districts flint occurs in a limestone with Alveolince. Thelower members of the series are often wanting, and are well repre-sented by shales, marls, and sandstones and where these are present;unconformity with the underlying .Eanikot beds is not seen; butwhere they are absent the j^ummulitic limestone (as in the Lakirange) rests unconformably.

The indications of a fringing-reef-buildirig fauna, or a bankof coral, are distinct; but the species when compared with theirmodern analogues do not indicate a great reef-development.Amongst other fossils, Lamellibranchiata prevail, and the Echini arenumerous; but the jNumnnilitcs and Orbitolites, Alveolince, andPatellince are the most important organic remains. Amongst theNummiilites there are N. Bamondi, iV. biaritzensis, iV. Beaumonti,N. granulosus, and N. Leymeriei. The )STari series rests conformably on the Khirthars ; and there isoccasionally an apparent passage from the Khirthar limestone into ayellow or brown rock of the ISTari group.
