Scientific paper

FOLLOWING a palæomagnetic survey of the Deccan Traps of India1-3, we have extended our investigations of Indian rock formation to other geological ages. In particular we have made rock magnetic measurements on samples of lavas from the Rajmahal Traps of eastern Bihar. These lavas, which consist mainly of basaltic and pitchstone trap flows, overlie the Upper Gondwana shales and sandstones. They are most probably Jurassic in age, and according to Hobson4 they represent the earliest part of the volcanic activity that afterwards, during the late Cretaceous and early Eocene periods, gave rise to the Deccan Traps.
