Results of paleomagnetic studies of twenty-four flows sampled from the area between Jabalpur (23°11′N, 77°58′E) and Dindori (22°57′N, 81°00′E) in the northeast part of the Deccan trap exposure are presented. The elevations of the flows varied from 372m to 670m above mean sea level. The results reveal the presence of a field reversal quite different from the one studied by earlier workers. Presence of this field reversal has been recently indicated by PAL et al. and WENSINK, in the Malwa and Nagpur regions, respectively. A comparison of the paleomagnetic results of the Deccan volcanics from different areas with those of normal polarity from Jabalpur-Dindori region indicates that the land mass of India drifted northward by about 21° during the entire period of the igneous activity represented by the Deccan traps.
