Abstract
THE route taken on the outward journey by the recent Mount Everest Expedition was the same as that followed by the previous expeditions and covered a region which, in part, had been geologically investigated by Hooker, Mallet, Hay den, Prof. E. J. Garwood, Dr. A. M. Heron and Mr. N. E. Odell. During the return journey some of the party zigzagged along the junction between the meta-morphic complex of the main range and the Tibetan sedimentary zone, and the data obtained on the two journeys made it possible to extend the geological mapping in the strip between Mount Everest and Phari.
