FERRARIS, JR. and RICHARD P. VARI W9\ I SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 535 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Folklife Studies Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs'submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

    DSPMU UNIVERSITY, RANCHI. DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY SEMESTER-VI DATE-19/04/2020 FACULTY- Dr. Melvin A. Ekka. PHYSIOGRAPHIC DIVISION OF JHARKHAND The physiographic division of Jharkhand comprises of many divisions and based on geomorphic parameters Jharkhand may be divided into a number of geomorphic domains as follows- Ranchi Plateau This is the largest part of the Chotanagpur Plateau having an average elevation of about 700 meters above MSL. It is bounded by state boundary to the west, Damodar basin to the north, Singhbhum plain in the south and the Subarnrekha and Kharkai rivers in the southeast. The Ranchi plateau is further divided into northern Ranchi and southern Ranchi plateau. The northern Ranchi plateau lies just south of Damodar basin and covers the area of Ranchi and its adjoining areas. It is a gently undulating area having less fertile uplands called Tanrs and more fertile lowlands called Dons. The southern ranchi plateau comprises of south portion of Ranchi district, Simdega and Gumla districts . they are highly rugged areas and hilly with forest areas and small fertile valleys. There are many waterfalls at the edges of Ranchi Plateau where rivers form waterfalls when they descend through the escarpments of the plateau down to the area of significantly lower height. That is the reason the plateau is highly dissected at the edges. Hundru Falls (75m) on Subarnarekha River, Dassam Falls (39m) on Kanchi River and Sadni falls on Sankh River are some of the examples of scarp falls. Hazaribagh Plateau This lies to the north of Ranchi Plateau and is separated by E-W running Damuda valley in which deposition of Gondwana sediments took place.

INTRODUCTION The state of Bihar is situated in the eastern part of India. It has a varied topography viz., himalayan foot-hills, gangetic plains and the plateau of Chhota Nagpur. The ecological niches provide excellent habitats including hill streams as well as permanent and temporary water-bodies, for the breeding of Odonata. Therefore, a fairly large number of species can be seen at these breeding habitats, particularly during pre- and post-monsoon periods. After the publication of the Fauna of British India, Odonata, in 3 volumes by FRASER (1933, 1934 and 1936), no comprehensive work dealing with the Odonata fauna of Bihar is available.
