1853.. FRERE — GEOLOGY OF A PART OF SIND. 349
.On January 18, 1853, Dr. A. Fleming had the opportunity of
riding up with an escort to the mouth of the Vidone Pass, opposite
Dera Ghazee Khan. Here also he observed the deposits above

Esq., Commissioner in Sind.
.In a letter to Col. Sykes, F.R.S., F.G.S..
I HAVE taken the opportunity of the "Duke of Argyll" going
direct from Kurachee to London, to send a couple of cases to your
address. They contain a number of tertiary fossils, chiefly bones
of Mammalia, very much resembling the Perim fossils ; these were
collected by Mr. Arthur Young, the Deputy Collector of Sehwan,
who, if they are of any interest, would wish you to keep for your own
collection any you like, and to present the rest, if you consider them
worthy of presentation, to the India House, or any other public
museum. Any account of what they are would be most acceptable, "
and any call for further information or more specimens would be
carefully attended to. Neither he nor I have been able to reach the
exact locality where they are found.
It is in the hills S.W. of the Munch ur Lake and Sehwan, and
about half-way to Shah-billawull, but on the E. side of the Hubb
River. I must have been very near it in traversing the hill-route
from Kurachee to Sehwan in November 1851, but all the rocks I saw
Avere nummulitic limestone greatly contorted, the ranges of hills being
generally "wrinkles," as it were, of nummulitic strata; which could
be for the most part traced with great clearness from the valley on one
side over the hill and down into the valley on the other (see diagram) .
