14 B. Palynostratigraphy of Western Ghats (around Varkala & Quilon)-Morphotaxonomy of spores and pollen grains from Varkala and Quilon has been completed. It includes 44 genera and 56 species. Morphotaxonomical study of dinoflagellates was continued. 4.2.6. Palynostratigraphy of Neogene sediments of Kutch Spores, pollen grains and microplanktons have been recovered from the Khari ='Jandi Formation (?diocene) in Kutch, Gujarat. Megaspore and massuJa containing micro· spore of fossil Azolla have been described as A. aglochidia sp. novo 4.3. Tertiary from. Abroad A. A paper on a fossil palm wood from the Tertiary of Gerffiany was finalized. B. Eight types of fossil dicot woods from the Tertiary of Zaire were tentatively assigned to the families I\.1eliaceae, Leguminosae, Simaroubaceae and Burseraceae. 5. QUATERNARY 5.1. Pollen morphology Six hundred and fifty pollen slides of 137 taxa from Lahaul and Spiti and 100 slides of 20 taxa from i'\iigiri, were prepared. Pollen morphology of nearly 370 taxa from Lahaul-Spiti, Nilgiris and Rajasthan was done and quite a number of them were photographed. The data were utilized to improve upon and extend the pollen keys for the high altitude flora (Ladakh, Lahaul & Spiti), Rajasthan and Nilgiris. A Pollen Key has also been prepared for Gujarat area.
15 5.2. Pol1enanalysis 5.2.1. Pollen zonation schemefor Western Himalaya, Rajasthan and Nilgiris-A paper on the local and regional pollen zones and their delimitation in Indian pollen diagrams deal· ing with the present day criteria for pollen zonation together with the history of thought and the application of the criteria and Indian pollen diagrams was prepared and submitted for publication. A. Ll1dakh-A surface sample from neal' the alpine Tsokar Lake, 5,000 m a. s. I.) revealed dominance of nOI1 arboreal over the arboreal pollen of which Pinus, Cedrus, Picea and Ahzes are derived froOi temperate regions through. upthermic winds. Juniper pollen was poorly represented against its higher values in the pollen profile from this lake. The Tsokar Lake pollen diagram from a profile of about 23.85 m and dated by radiocarbon to the last glaciation is largely dominated by herbaceous pollen belonging to Compositae, Chenopodiaceae and Urticaceae. \Vith the exception of Juniper pollen, pollen of temperate genera such as Abies, Picea, Cedrus and Pinus are indeed derived. The biogenic evidence, rise in Juniper pollen frequencies and the radiocarbon date of 30,600 ± 140 years B. P. suggests an interstadial (equivalent of Dcnekamp in Europe) at 21-22 m depth. Rise in temperature or lack of snow-fall during 211000 - 15,000 years B. P. is apparent from the increase in Juniper pollen and during the period an environment 01 disturbed soil was prevalent as indicated by a rise in Urticaceae pollen. B. Himachal Pradesh The pollen analysis of the 6 samples from subtropical Un chi-Bassi profile has shown the dominance of non-arbo-
