Abstract
Recent writings by Cotton (1944, 1945) and Richardson (1945) have drawn the attention of geologists in this country to the Pleistocene history of West China, and in particular to the river terraces and their mode of formation. Harland has now re-stated the problems of the physiographical history of Western Szechuan, and drawn attention to the gaps in our knowledge. This paper 1 is both complementary and supplementary to that of Richardson (1943; reviewed by Cotton, 1944). During the past two years I have had opportunity to study the geomorphology of the Border Ranges of north-western Szechuan, and this review is, therefore, accompanied by a discussion of certain points in the light of my own findings and the work of other writers.
