N. E. and A cursory examination of the geological map shows that the general diretion of strike from Dharrnapuri across the country north of the Shevaroys and across the Teniind'e-malai to the main mass of the Kalrayans is north=east and south-west. [...] This huge curve which includes the whole mass of the Kolli-malais and the Talai-malai in Namalikal Taluk has its apex to the west outside of the limits of the area surveyed by the Geological Surveyors ; but the curve of many of the inner (upper) beds was traced with perfect ease demonstrating the reality of the flexure."PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION. [...] Of its tributaries (1) the Markanda-nadi otherwise called the Chinnar flows due south from the Mysore Plateau through the valleys of Tirtam and Veppana-palli and joins the Pennaiyar soon after the latter emerges on the low country of the Baramahal. [...] River drains the major portion of Dharmapuri Taluk ; by the Pula-halli River it receives the run-off of the Pikkili Hills and the country round PalakOdu and by the Dharmapuri River that of the northern slopes of the Vattala-malai. [...] To the east is a bird's eye view of the Morappar amphitheatre and the plains beyond to the south the vale of Pennagaram breaking away to meet the Kavéri at Hog5na-kal and far beyond to the south-east is the mountain mass of the Shevaroys.
