C. Palynostratigraphy <strong>of</strong> Tertiary sediments <strong>of</strong> Upper Assom<br />

Palynological investigations <strong>of</strong> the subsurface Neogene<br />

sediments <strong>of</strong>Jorajan ''\'ell-3 have been completed. Besides,<br />

the systematic palynology and stratigraphical significance <strong>of</strong><br />

the assemblage have been discussed.<br />

D. Palynostratigraph] <strong>of</strong> the Lower Tertiary sediments <strong>of</strong><br />

Simla Hills, }{orth India-A paper on the palynostratigraphical<br />

correlation <strong>of</strong> the 8 measured sections representin!j the<br />

Subathu Formation in the Kalka-Simla area has been<br />

completed. An attempt has also been made to trace the<br />

lateral continuity <strong>of</strong> the palynological zones in the different<br />

sections under study. On the basis <strong>of</strong> palynological evidences<br />

the Subathu Formation in the same area has been<br />

dated as varyin~ from Upper Palaeocene to Upper Eocene<br />

in age. Furthermore, it has been inferred that the environment<br />

<strong>of</strong> deposition <strong>of</strong> this formation varies from shallow<br />

marine brackish \"'a ter to fresh water conditions.<br />
