Abstract/NotesWhen recently on military duty in India, the writer was in correspondence with Mr. D. N. Wadia on the known distribution of granite within the ranges of the Himalaya, arising out of a statement by Mr. Wadia in his General Presidential Address to the 29th India Science Congress, 1942, on “The Making of India”. Therein it was declared (p. 7): “In these earth plications masses of crystalline igneous rocks, granites, from the depths of the earth, have been pushed up through the sedimentary cover and now occupy the central zone of highest elevations. The sublime snow-capped peaks of the Himalaya from Mount Everest to Nanga Parbat, all are built of this axial granite core,” etc.
