Abstract
The paper gives a general account of the stratigraphic position of the granite seen in the Son Valley, and also the age, extension, folding, uplift, and denudation of the Bijawars. The author’s study has led him to conclude that the granite is of post-Bijawar age, and that the Bijawars of the Son Valley show resemblance to the Bijawars of the type area, the only difference being that the Son Valley Bijawars are more disturbed and metamorphosed with the obliteration of sedimentary characters. The absence of any evidence for glaciation during Bijawar times is also pointed out.
