But, although the general sequence of the beds was established, the observations made 

 were insufficient to enable a map to be prepared showing the distribution of the different 

 strata. Further examination was necessary for this purpose ; and Dr. Stoliczka always hoped 

 to return to the Himalayas and complete the work he had so well begun. The severe and 

 long-continued labour necessary for the preparation of his great work on the cretaceous fossils 

 of Southern India engrossed the whole of his time ; and, as has already been mentioned, his 

 health was seriously affected by the exposure he underwent in his second Himalayan journey, 

 so that, for a year or two at least, he was unfitted for work involving severe exertion. Thus 

 the sketch he made for such it was has never been filled up ; no geological map of the 

 Western Himalayas has ever been published, and the idea which can be formed of the distri- 

 bution of the known strata is, at the best, fragmentary. 



It is as well, before proceeding further, to point out, in such a manner as to render it 

 easily recognised on the map, the area to which Dr. Stoliczka's observations were chiefly con-
