Memoirs of the Geological Survey of India

1930

Students of the geology of the Madras Presidency and other parts of Southern India will probably always marvel at the vastness of the tracts of country that were surveyed by William King and R. Bruce Foote who between them laid the foundations of the interpretation of the geology of that part of India. [...] and the Gundlakamma groups respectively the former occurring near the town of Ongole and the latter lying entirely in the lower part of the valley of the Gundlakamma river. [...] The strong petrological resemblance of the beds themselves and of the intermediate gneissic beds as well as the near correspondence in number of beds leads me to regard the Parnametta and Ongole beds as merely the extensions of the great Konijedu curve the Parnametta beds corresponding with the northern the Ongole with the north-eastern arm of the great anticlinal curve. [...] The greatest development of the talcose rocks is to be seen near the head waters of the Mushi river immediately east of the boundary of the Kadapa rocks and at the villages of Gazulapalle (Gazoolapully) Chinna Managundum and Soutapalem. [...] The band of granitoid gneiss to which I gave the name of the Chendra Sekharapuram band disappears to the northward of the village of Immedesheruvu under the alluvium of the Pal-eru and the thick spread of red sandy soil stretching away to the north-east.
