1994--95 Objective To systematically study spores and pollen To establish paLynozonation To reconstruct the past vegetation, environment and paLaeogeography 0/ deposition One hundred-fifty samples collected from the Indus Group exposed at Khalsi, Oras and Kargil areas were macerated. Dispersed organic matter yielding horizons have been identified from Khalsi area. Algal remains have been recovered from the lower par1 of Indus Group. Morphotaxonomic study is now being taken up. R. K. Saxena & Samir Sarkar Programme 5.6 Neogene Himalaya: floristics, evolutionary patterns and climate Objective To undertake extensive study o//ossil plalltsfromNeogene sedimellts 0/ different regions 0/ the HimaLaya To build up IhefloraL succession/or interpreting paLaeoecolog); phytogeography and evoLution 0/ the HimaLayan flora Sorted and cleared the leaf-impressions collected from the KasauH sediments of Himachal Pradesh. A paper on the lea-impressions of Bauhinia from Kasauli was finalized. N. Awasthi Out of a rich collection of fossil plants from the KasauH Formation, near Shiv Shakti Temple, Kasauli, five types of leaf -impressions have been identified with the leaves of the extant taxa, Clinogyne dichotoma (monocotyledon), Garcinia speciosa, Glufa tavoyana, Conzbrelwn apewlunz and Phyllal/lhus reliculatus (dicotyledons). These are distributed in the Indo-Malayan region and suggest that the Kasauli nora nourished under tropical climate with better representation of evergreen clements. Occurrence of coastal plants, such as, Garcinia speciosa and Gluta tavoyana indicates persistence of the coastal environment in the area during deposition of the Kasauli sediments. N. Awasthi 1& Ritesh Arya, Chandigarh] Plant fossils comprising leaves, fruits and seeds from Surai Khola, Arjun Khola and Rehar areas of western Nepal have been studied and descriptions of35 leaf-impressions collected from Arjun Khola have been written. In addition, some more leaf-impressions have been identi fied. TIley are : Anzoora lawii, Anisoplem glabm, Cocculus Irilobus, Diospyros dasyphylla, Ficus scandens, Ipomoea eriocarpa, Mallolus philippinense, Sabia palliculala and Valicaperapellsis. A manusclipt entitled, "Further contribution to the Siwalik nora from Surai Khola sequence, western Nepal and palaeoecology and phytogeography of the region" was prepared. Based on the distribution patterns of the modern counterparts of megafossils, a low mesophytic tropical moist deciduous to evergreen forests in the area during Siwalik sedimentation has been envisaged.

Out oflhe sixty fossil woods seCiioned and studied from Kalagarh, three have been found to he new showing al1iniLies with the woods of Fahaceae, Euphorhiaceae and Myrtaceae. A draft paper on "Fossil wood of DlIaballga from the Siwalik sediments of Sindhuli, Nepal" was prepared. Leaf-impressions from Haridwar, Kathgodam and Koilabas arca, were also investigated. Three impressions from the Koilabas have heen identilied showing resemhlance with Lagerslroenlla parviJIora, He/icia erralica and Allis"pilyl/a "pew/" belonging to Lythraccae, Proteaceae and Rhi70phoraceae, respectively.
