Records of the Geological Survey of India

The sinking in of the volcanic centre north-west of Chakmfik first appears to have drained off the former head of the Aksai river making it the head of the Toyan instead; and to the north of the Terek ridge it was most probably the cause of the origin of the Cl►iderkul. [...] Moraines the most striking no less than the most enduring of the products of glaciation form so conspicuous a feature of the surface of so large a portion of the Sangre district that the attention of the least observant traveller is rivetted by them and I had hardly set font in the district before I was questioned os t" the origin. [...] The task of tracing out the course of the moraines which descending from the Dhfi.oldluir range pushed boldly across the Minya district is rendered unusually easy from the great contrast which exists between the rock of which the great majority of erratic and moraine blocks Constitution of moraines. [...] In fact Fulmer appearance of Baum M50 complete was the union of those glaciers that the lvhole of the area shown in the map to have been traversed by them must have presented the appearance of ono hog° ice-field if we can rely on the evidence of the perfect mantle of moraine material which now covers the ground. [...] Busnur south of RBA% I measured one block embedded in a field by the roadside 125 feet in girth and in this and other cases the present dimensions are probably much under the original size of the block from the desquamation of the surface under the action of frost sun and rain and in some situations by the friction of stones swept against them by streams.
