Abstract: The Kangra Himalaya is a part of the main Himalayan range situated south-east of Kashmir. Two of the major valleys of this area (between Long. 77 5'77? 40' E. and Lat. 31? 55'-32? 30' N.) were visited by the author both before and after the onset of the monsoon during an expedition to these mountains in the summer of 1952. During these travels an intensive study of the distribution of pteridophytes in this area was made. Herbarium specimens of the species referred to in this paper are now housed in the British Museum (Natural History), London. Observations were begun in the Beas River Valley (Kulu Valley) in dry pre-monsoon weather in mid-May. At the beginning of June the expedition travelled up the Parbati Valley and established a base camp at 12,800 feet altitude in the Dibibokri Nal, which leads off the Parbati Valley to the north. After the onset of the monsoon, the expedition returned in mid-July along the Parbati Valley. Subsequently further observations were made in the Beas Valley.
