Abstract
THE progress recently made in the prehistory and geologyof man in China, Java and Africa called for an organised study of the late Cenozoic history in India, the importance of which as a promising research field had been previously recognised by men of science such as Pilgrim, Merriam and Hrdlicka. The approach to this complex task was determined bygeological considerations, inasmuch as the stratigraphy of the Pliocene-Pleistocene sequence had to take account of the young Himalayan mountain uplifts and related phenomena. Two previous expeditions of mine had given me an intimate knowledge of the geology in north-west India, and therefore Ichose for my studies a stretch of country extending from the Kashmir valley across the Pir Panjal range and Poonch to the Salt Range between the Rivers Indus and Jhelum. This sector comprises the slope of the main Himalaya and the adjoining plains in the Punjab with their more recently upliftedridges.
