The geologist Richard Dixon Oldham (1858 1936) published the second
edition of Geology of India in 1892 for the Geological Survey of
India. The work is a thoroughgoing revision of the first edition of
the same manual compiled by H. M. Medlicott (1829 1905) and W. T.
Blanford (1832 1905), published in 1879. It contains one of the
earliest and most important geological surveys of India. Owing to
an increase in available data since the first edition, descriptions
of the rock formations of the country are arranged chronologically.
This edition is particularly important for the data on, and
discussion of, the age and origins of the Himalayas. It includes
other chapters on metamorphic and crystalline rocks, fossils,
vegetation, volcanic regions, geological history, and rock
formation. It is a key work of nineteenth-century geology which
remains relevant for geologists studying the subcontinent today.
