ice, at a time when, we know that the glaciation of the Himalayas was much 
greater than at present. 
My only point is, that I can see no evidence of glaciei’s having ever extended 
down to the level of the Jhelam; and that the gneiss blocks could have perfectly 
well attained their present position by debacle action. 
It will be gathered from the above observations that the Jhelam is now a 
denuding and not a depositing river, as it was when these alluvial formations 
were laid down; from which we may probably infer that great changes of level 
have taken place since the jjeidod of those deposits, which may have afforded 
greater facilities at certain times for the movements of the blocks. 
In conclusion, we may state that on the mountains of the north side of 
Kashmir we have distinct evidence of a former glaciation at an elevation of some 
6,500 feet above the sea-level, while on the south side we know of none below 
8,000 feet. In the vale of Kashmir itself, and in the lower Jhelam valley, we at 
present have no distinct evidences of glaciation. 
As far, therefore, as this negative evidence goes, it tends to disprove any 
former glaciation of the outer hills and Upper Punjab, because, if there had been 
any glaciation of the latter, there would most assuredly have been a far greater 
glaciation of the valley of Kashmir and the neighbouring hills, since even at 
equal elevations the present glaciation of the Himalaya increases as we pass 
towards its central axis.
