Forbes describes the general structure of the area and points out that the forms of the hills are directly due to the character of the rocks of which they are built up. [...] But the forest-clad hills the bold scarps in the highlands formed of sandstone the rocky beds and rapids of the principal rivers and the lofty ranges which bound the view on the south all combine to produce most pleasing effects. [...] Although the water actually finds its way to the surface through joints in some vertical beds of granitic gneiss which are the only rocks exposed in that part of the bed of the river the position is in immediate proximity to the continuation of the well-marked east-to-west fault which has cut off the Barakars &c. [...] The result of the examination of the various coal-fields of Palamow has been to confirm the general truth of the view thus entertained but the change has proved to be not quite so abrupt and is not coincident with the termination of the Damuda valley but takes place farther west. [...] 31 Before proceeding to the detailed account of the above sedimentary formations under the headings of the different fields in which they occur it will be well with the aid of the accompanying small-scale map to indicate generally the extent of their distribution so far as it is known throughout the whole area and to point out the resemblances and relations which exist between the deposits of
