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 />
