[...] first for a length of some fourteen miles the scarpais tuftorted upon a high undercliff of the metamorphics at one point these reach to the full height of the range the sandstone being weathered back as a low second scarp.; In the gorge of the Sakar and Hard the basin of which adjoins In the Sakar and Hard that of the Sher and Machiriva within the hills area. [...] To the west of the Hard this gradual elevation of the Jabalptir beds continues with the concomitant effect of introducing underlying groups not represented in the sections to the east—the beginning of the features noticed in the main section of the SatpUra basin. [...] On the south the boundary of the group is for the most part well definedIwhere the clays lap up upon the unbroken Boidary sections in the Dirdhi and 13`enwci sandstone of the Pachmaris as 'at Moar on the valleys.
