Extract

At Christmas, 1917, I had the privilege, owing to the kindness of the Hon. Mr. W. W. Hornell, of a short visit into Southern Sikkim, during which I observed glacial striation at a lower level than has been previously recorded in the Himalaya. This occurrence is the more worthy of record since striated rock-surfaces are reported as scarce or absent from the Eastern Himalaya even at much higher levels. For courteous help and the use of the library of the Geological Survey of India I am indebted to Dr. H. H. Hayden, and references to some of the literature I owe to him and also to Mr. E. W. Vredenburg.
