Since 0. H. K. Spate's 1950 review article, 1 summarizing contributions to the geography of India and Pakistan before the dissolution of the British Raj, geography has made a substantial advance in both research and ducation in the Indian subcontinent. This growth is reflected in the expansion of geography teaching at universities and collges and the increasing number of geography books and journals now being published in India and Pakistan. Professor Chatterjee, of Calcutta University, has summarized the progress of geography in India in a comprehensive volume published recently by the Indian Science Congress. 2 It should be noted at the outset that the quality of gographie instruction, research and publication remains uneven. Although several Indian and Pakistani universities award Honours and M. A. Degrees, only a few hve strong geography departments. The most outstanding geography department in India is at Banaras (Varanasi), where the Faculty is very active in research under the able guidance of professor R. L. Singh. In rcent years several major geographical books hve been authored by Banaras Faculty members
