Capt. Herbert on Diluvium of Himalaya

In The short broad level valley, leading from the mountains to the plains (like those of Makowal or Ropar, Pinjor Kyarda, Dehra Patli) all between Setlej & Gagrah) are drawn each way division of water flows each way─ enormous accumulation of well rounded stone of many varieties, size from 3 to 7 inches in diameter, some of which must have come at least 25 miles ─ thickness of accumulation, contained in one spot to be at least 220. ─ in other place 150 ft. ─ (The beds of pebbles sometimes extend 15 miles from north of valley. I presume on plain.

[South America, pp. 59-60: "* It appears from Capt. Herbert's account of the Diluvium of the Himalaya (Gleanings of Science, Calcutta, vol. ii. p. 164), that precisely similar remarks apply to the drainage of the plains or valleys between those great mountains."]
