*IAR 1956-7*. **Morhana Pahar,** Dt Mirzapur, near Bhainsaur, with painted rock-shelters [13] and with microliths of the Mesolithic [4.5] tradition, excavated by R.K. Varma of the Univ. of Allahabad. An open-air habitation site was found to have six deposits, successively from bottom upwards, with non-geometric microliths unassociated with pottery, geometric microliths with pottery and diminutive microliths with the same pottery. An excavated rock-shelter yielded more or less the same sequence. Varma, R.K., 1965, in Misra, V.D., and Mate, M.S., ed., *Indian Prehistory: 1964*, Poona, pp. 72-4.
