A Manual of the Geology of India and Burma

1950

The Arabian Sea to the west--tne large tract of Burma to the east partially separated off by the Bay of Bengal and trailing out southwards into the long narrow strip of Tenasserim and its continuation the Malay peninsula—on the north the broad arc of the snow-capped Himalayan chain convex towards the south forming a barrier between the burning Indo-Gangetie plank and the cold barren tabllan [...] Secondly we have the mountainous belt of the Himlaya on the north the various ranges along the Afghan frontier and in Baluchistan to the northwest and the old province of Burma to the east—all conveniently referred to as the Extra-peninsular region. [...] In the continuation of the Himalaya on the western side of the Jhelum syntaxis the fusion of the zones becomes more ovious and the folding is less concentrated. [...] The low Tertiary plateau and the alluvial plain of the Chindwin and lower half of the Irrawaddy would in such a scheme correspond to the Potwar plateau of the Punjab while the Pakeozoic and Mesozoic rocks of the Shan States would find their equivalents in those of the Hazara and Attock hills. [...] From the racial point of view we find the Peninsula dominated by the Dravidian the alluvial plains—with the exception of Bengal--by the Aryan and the Himalaya and Burma by the Mongoloid.
