Abstract
The results of the present investigation of the Schichallion complex can be summarized as follows :– (i) The succession established by Bailey & McCallien (1937) is confirmed. (ii) The imprints of four separate movements, F 1 to F 4 , have been found in the area. (iii) F 1 and F 2 are somewhat closely connected and are responsible for the two major systems of folding, which have produced the “Schichallion swing”. (iv) No indications of “twisting” or “torsion” have been found.Keywords
