Abstract

S!x~rEm,~ years ago, the writer had the opportunity of examining parts of the Kaldurga area, especially the conglomerates occurring therein, in the company of the late Professor P. Sampat Iyengar, than whom one could not expect a better exponent of the autoctastic origin of the conglomerates of Miysore: He was struck then by the size and degree of rounding which many of the pebbles exhibited and wondered whether pressure alone could have been the cause for the formation of such a sedimentary looking conglomerate. In 1932, he visited parts of the Kadur District, when a halt was made at Jodikatte, and the conglomerates and associated rocks were examined in detail, and a large collection of the conglomerate and the included pebbles was made. The material was studied in the Geological laboratory of the University of Glasgow, and this paper is the record of work which was mainly done there. The writer visited the area once again this year and was able to observe several new features presented by the conglomerates and grits, which are incorporated in this paper.
