By LEONARD V. DALTON, B.Se. (Communicated by Dr. A. S~ti'l'rt WOODWAI~iO,F.R.S., F.L.S., V.P.G.S. :Read April 15th, 1908.) [1PLATES LIV-LVII--FosslLs.] I~ is the object of this paper to present the results of geological expeditions in the Irawadi valley carried out by my uncle :Mr. W. H. Dalton, F.G.S., and myself in the season of ~1904-1905, and by myself alone in 1905-1906, and to correlate these observations wilh those made by previous writers, thus summarizing our present knowledge of the geology of Burma generally and of the Tertiary System of that country in particular. To this end it is divided into the following sections :- :Page I. Historical ............................................................... 604 II. Original Observations ................................................ 607 III. General and Stratigraphical ....................................... 617 IV. Paleontology ......................................................... 622 V. Recapitulation ......................................................... 641 I. I-~ISTORICAL. Dr. Fritz Ncetling in 1895 ~ reviewed the work done on the geology of Burma before that date, pointing out the remarkably-accurate hypothetical arrangement of the rocks of Burma made by'Buckland in 1828, ~ and the absence of subdivision of the Tertiary System previous to W. Theobald's paper on Lower Burma in 1873. 3 In this summary the ' Axial Group' of Theobald is referred to as certainly not of Triassic age--a statement controverl-ed by later examination of the fossils of tim Arakan Yoma and other parts of Lower Burma-- although folmd true in the sense that the ~,-'roup is~ a comptex~, one (as we now know), and neither Triassic nor Cretaceous alone, but assignable to both of these. While Dr. ,Ncetling's paper thus reviews the greater number of the works published on the geology of Burma, and in particular those relating to the Tertiary of the better-known regions of the Irawadi basin, there are certain other papers to which it is necessary to refer here, as they deal with the outlying districts. Of these the earliest is that of E. J. Jones on the coals of the Chindwin Valley/ wherein he describes the 1 :Rec. Geol. Surv. India, vol. xxviii, p. 59. Trans. Geol. Soe. set. 2, vol. ii, pt. iii, p. 377. The fossils collected by J. Crawfurd near Singu and Yenaugyat on the Irawadi, referred to by Buekhmd, are in the Museum of the Geological Society, and apparently include several of the forms named many years later by Dr. INeRtling. They are of especial interest, as being the first fossils from Burma to reach this country. ' On the Geology of l~egu ' Mere. Geol. Surv. India vol. x p. 189. ' ~Notes on Upper Burma' Rec. Geol.

In the same paper the Tertiary coals and lignite of the region south of Mandalay and in the Shan Hills west of Yamethin are described; while Dr. N(etling's report of 1~91 ~ points out the interesting fact that Miocene coal is found only in the north-east-to-south-west valleys of the Shan Plateau, which tableland is formed of Palaeozoic and metamorphic rocks. Lastly, the same author in his papers of ]$93 '~ and ]b94 z indicates the presence of Miocene rocks in the far north (amber-mines) and near Wuntho. Passing to the review of work subsequent to the 1895 summary, ave have the late G. E. Grimes's paper on the geology of the Yenangyat oilfield, and of Gwegyo and other localities in the Myingyan district2 Dr. Noetling's description of the Miocene ~bssils of Burma was published in 1.901 5, and has become a classic in Burmese geology. In 1906, Mr. G. H. Tipper, in a preliminary note on the Trias of Lower Burma, G refers to specimens of Halobia Lommeli, Wissm., found in Theobald's collections, which were labelled as coming from the Karenni, pointing to the occurrence of Triassic rocks in the east of Lower Burma. He here notes that the Trias of the Arakan Yoma is of less extent than was indicated by Theobald in 1873. In the following year the same writer published a further note 7 showing the complexity of the Axial Group, which he divides into (1) Upper Axials, including Cc~rdita-Beds ~Creta- ceous], IIalobia-Limestones [Trias_~, and shales, sandstones, and grits ~Trias ?j ; and (2)Lower Axials, consisting of [unfossiliferous] flaggy shales and sandstones. In 1906, Mr. l~. D. Oldham also published a paper on the ex- plosion-craters of the Lower Chindwin district, west of Monywa, s these being identical with the volcanic hills referred to by Jones in 1887 ~ as an extension of the line of vulcanism running north and south through Narkondam and 'Paopadaung.' In 1906 also, Mr. E. H. Pascoe published accounts lO of the stratigraphy of a Miocene area east-north-east of Kabat in lat. 2i ~ 4' N., long. 95 ~ 20' 30" E., and of that of Gwegyo, with a later note ~t in the following year on some fossiliferous lenticular marine limestones exposed in the Yenangyoung Miocene area in the 'Yenangyoung Stage,' the fossils found here prior to this time being chiefly derived from the lower division or ' Promeian' of Dr. Ncetling. 1 , Report on the Coalfields in the Northern Shan States' Rec.

The Strategies and Priorities Established within the Framework of 7 Sustainable Economic Development Plans 4. Institutional Measures Taken to Implement the Convention 9 5. Measures Taken or Planned to Combat Desertification 14 6. Consultative Process in Support of National Action Programme 52 with Interested Entities 7. Financial Allocation from the National Budgets 56 8. Monitoring and Evaluation 58 1. Executive Summary 1.1 The main purpose of this report is to update on the situation in Myanmar with regard to measures taken for the implementation of the UNCCD at the national level since its submission of the first national report in August 2000. 1.2 Myanmar acceded to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) in January 1997. Even before Myanmar’s accession to UNCCD, measures relating to combating desertification have been taken at the local and national levels. In 1994, the Ministry of Forestry (MOF) launched a 3-year "Greening Project for the Nine Critical Districts" of Sagaing, Magway and Mandalay Divisions in the Dry Zone. This was later extended to 13 districts with the creation of new department, the Dry Zone Greening Department (DZGD) in 1997. 1.3 The Government has stepped up its efforts on preventing land degradation and combating desertification in recent years. The most significant effort is the rural area development programme envisaged in the current Third Short-Term Five-Year Plan (2001-2002 to 2005-2006). The rural development programme has laid down 5 main activities.

  • PACT Diesel Minigrid Study10
    Enabling Electricity Access in Myanmar Diesel Mini Grid Assessment, november 2016 U Kyaw Thu comes home at 6pm a2er spending the day at his farm growing lenls and sesame. A diesel engine starts growling in the background and the street lamps light up. Some of his friends and neighbors switch on their television sets while the children open their books to make best use of these 2 hours before the village plunges into darkness. Aer 9pm, while the village prepares to sleep and the diesel engine stops, children light up candles in their homes to study for another few hours so that they do not have to spend their lives being farmers in this darkness of these villages in Myanmar. Through this assessment, Pact Myanmar seeks to understand the struggle, needs, ingenuity and outlook of villagers seeking to gain access to electricity in Myanmar and who have established diesel mini grids in their villages. We explore U Kyaw Thu’s village, Kone, which lies in Seikphyu Towhship and another 9 villages in Magway Region to understand how the village community has collaborated to establish basic electrifica:on and whether there could be ways to improve the systems and provide electricity for not only ligh:ng but also produc:ve use, which could accelerate the overall village development. Mandalay Yoma About Pact Myanmar Pact Myanmar’s programming aims to fundamentally improve people’s lives to affect positive material impact on Myanmar’s development. We do this by operating simultaneously at scale and at the village level to maximize impact. We believe passionately in community involvement in designing solutions to everyday problems.
