The Haripur glacier. 
4. —The SujanpIjb Glacier. 
Tliis very large glacier was composed of several parallel and inosculating streams, all 
running with a comparatively straight course past Burwar- 
The Sujanpfir glauer. nr h to the Bids at Sujanpur, the main stream having 
evidently descended along the course of the Ncgal river. 
5. —The HaeipOe Glacier. 
This was the largest and most interesting glacier under notice. The most easterly 
feeders of it passed close under Dhar bungalow past 
Puthidr, and thence with a grand curve south of Nagroteh; 
whilst the most westerly feeders descended close to Baghsu cantonments. Between these 
limits a number of glaciers descended from the lofty Dliaoladhdr range, pierced the outer 
range of schistose rocks, and coalescing below Kangra into one mighty stream ploughed their 
resistless way through the tortuous gorge of the Ban Ganga, past Haripur, and through the 
village of Godeir (below which large erratics are scarce) as far as the village of Ghurial 
(Ghooryal) or perhaps even farther. 
6.—The Guj Glaciek. 
This glacier might be appropriately named after the village of Nagroteh, near which it 
debouches into the plains, but as there is a better known 
Tlie Giij s'acier. village of that name, mentioned above, east of Kangra, it 
will obviate confusion if the name of the river down which it passed is substituted. The 
most easterly feeders of this glacier descended a little west of Baghsu, the most westerly 
ones, a little west of Bihlu (Rihloo). 
7.—The Jawali (Juwalee) Glacier. 
This glacier, the most westerly one in the Kangra district, was composed of two main 
branches, one from the east, flowing under Tiloknath, whilst 
The Jawali glacier. the other passed down close under Kotleli, below which 
place the two united, flowing from nearly opposite directions, and together passed down the 
gorge of the Darh river, debouching into the plains at Jawali. Below Jawali the moraine 
of this glacier, mainly, perhaps, through the action of subsequent atmospheric forces, spreads 
out into a fan-shaped talus (and the same is more or less observable in the case of the Guj 
glacier also), so that its precise termination is not clearly marked, but it not improbably 
extended to the Bias either independently or after uniting with the last. 
In speaking of the glaciers enumerated above I have used the past tense, as I am un¬ 
certain if at the present day even so much as a permanent 
remnant remains of some of them ; though to the eastward 
of the region they originate in, towards the head of the U1 valley, snow-fields and glaciers 
are represented on the map. Whether or not shrunken remuantsof any of them still remain 
pent within the deeper vallies among the peaks of the DhaoMhar range, is of little 
moment, since the precise course pursued by them is no less plainly marked by the Cyclopean 
trains of boulders they have left behind them, than if they were still present to our 
eyes on their original proportions. 
The moraines within the Kangra district present everywhere such similar features that 
a description of one of them will mutatis mutandis stand 
Moraines m Kangra. f or a ii the rest, the differences between them being confined 
to their relative size, and the secondary characters impressed on them by atmospheric action, 
and the extent to which they have been cut into and abraded by existing streams. Descend-
