Extract

Some time ago I was asked, in connection with a question regarding the Dwyka conglomerate, to say if any of the volcanic deposits of Java in any way resemble a glacial deposit. As I was in Java from 12th May to 6th June as a Member of the Fourth Pacific Science Congress, and travelled from Batavia to Soerabaya via Buitenzorg, Bandoeng, Garoet, Koeningan, Loh Ulu, Jocja, Kediri, and the Tengger Mountains, as well as going to Krakatau, I had a good opportunity of replying to the question, but it must be understood that this note is not intended as a contribution to literature on the Dwyka conglomerate, which I have never seen, but purely as an answer to the query “are there any volcanic deposits in Java resembling glacial deposits ?” The reply briefly is that such deposits do exist, namely the “mudstream-deposits” of Gunong Keloet, near Kediri.
