Geological mapping by the author in parts of Garhwal and Punjab Himalaya, in the areas between Nayar and Sutlej rivers in the south, and between Bhagirathi and Sutlej rivers in the north, revealed that the Krol belt rocks are autochthonous sediments deposited on a floor of Simla slate - Deoban group, and are not allochthonous as interpreted by Auden. The various field evidences in support of this view are cited.
