Hello Srinivas,

some of these identifiers are just outdated and replaces by more current ones.  
For example, as far as I know, STRef is the new name for MutVar.  You might 
want to have a look at GHC's library documentation at

	http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/index.html

although this might not give enough information for you.

Best wishes,
Wolfgang
