it may now confidently be said that the sections given by DE TERRA are reconstructions based on very careful observation. For nowhere a complete stratigraphical sequence seems to have been preserved as in the Mahismati Nala at Maheshwar. Thus at (a) Hoshangabad a pebble gravel is capped by a thick silt deposit, but at places it rests on a reddish (pinkish) concretionary clay. At locality (b) a thick—over 8 ft—wide terrace of pebble gravel is exposed. This seems to be the course basal gravel though at places it seems to have been overlaid by the second pebbly gravel.
