Abstract
MUCH evidence of the last or Pleistocene Ice Age has been observed in various parts of the Central and the Lesser Himalayas. Lieut.-Col. J. L. Grinlinton has referred to the shape of polished and striated or grooved rock surfaces in the Liddar and Sind Valleys of the Kashmir Himalayas1. Many terminal moraines have also been noticed on the southern flank of the Pirpanjal at altitudes of somewhat less than 8,900 ft.; but no traces of the Pleistocene glaciation have been so far discovered anywhere in the Jammu Hills south of the Pirpanjal.
