Abstract
This report is based upon field investigations covering an area of about 1,400 square miles (3,626 sq km) in the Hindu Rush Mountains of Chitral State in northern Pakistan and also includes a discussion of geological questions relating to an area of about 8,000 square miles (20,720 sq km) in the Chitral-Gilgit area. The area is extremely rugged; local relief exceeds more than 8,000 feet (2,438 meters) over most of the area and commonly reaches 14,000 feet (3,048 meters). Many peaks are higher than 17,000 feet (5,182 meters), and Tirich Mir, 8 miles (12.9 km) north of the mapped area, is 25,263 feet (7,700 meters) high.
