SIWALIK HILLS

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 164 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SIV-SOU
SIWALIK HILLS , a name given to the foot-hills of the Hima-Iayas in Dehra Dun
district
  of the United Provinces of India and in Nahan state and Hoshiarpur
district
  of the Punjab. The range runs parallel with the Himalayan system from Hardwar on the Ganges to the banks of the
Beas
 , with a length of 200 M. and an
average
  width of 10 m. The
elevation
  varies from 2000 to 3500 ft. Geologically speaking the Siwaliks belong to the tertiary deposits of the outer Himalayas, and are chiefly composed of low sandstone and
conglomerate
  hills, the solidified and upheaved detritus of the
great
  range in their rear The inter-mediate valley lying between the outer hills and the Mussoorie
mountains is known as the Dehra Dun (or Dehra valley) and contains a considerable Eurasian colony and some British tea-planters. The principal pass is that of Mohan by which the main road from
Saharanpur
  to Dehra and Mussoorie traverses the range. The Siwalik formation (distinguished for its extraordinary wealth of palaeontological remains) is found on the North-West Frontier occupying much the same position relatively to the Suliman range as it does to the Himalayas, i.e. it faces the plains and becomes the outermost
wall
  of the hills.
