Abstract

The paper describes four species of the Anacardiaceae from the Karewa beds at Gogajipathri and Laredura. They are Rhus punjabensis, R. cotinus, R. succedanea and Odina wodier. Their distribution in the Himalayas is given in some detail. The conclusions derived from the comparison of the past and present distribution of these species agree in a general way with that already expressed by the author (PURl, 1943, 1945a, 1945b, 1946) on changes in the physical and vegetational conditions of the Kashmir valley since the Pleistocene.
