Sundar Lal HORA-Zoogeographical observations on the Fauna of Pareshnath Hill; (Pro. N. I. Sc. I. No. 8. vol. XV) Delhi, 1949.
Pp. 421-22. Paresnāth Hill in the district of Hazaribagh is the highest mountain in Chota Nagpur and its fauna is, therefore, of special significance in any discussions of the Satpura Hypothesis. The mountain rises to a hight of 4,800 feet above sea level and is about 180 miles from the foot-hills of Nepal. Its franks and crest are covered with dense jungle and though the humidity is not as high as in the eastern Himalayas, the atmosphere is damper in higher parts than the surrounding country. The mountain top presents a mixture, in fairly balanced proportions, of the plants of a damp hot, a dry hot, and of a temperate climate.
