Until recently tin ores were considered rare in Peni, the only deposits known to 

 exist being those described by Prof. Raimondi in the district of Moho, Province of 

 Huancanf, Dept. of Puno. Mineral \eins and veinlots containing tin were afterwards 

 described by Carlos Posth as existing in quartz in the Pataoca and Accaobina spurs 

 of the Andes in the Vilque district. Tin is now known to be widely distributed in 

 Peru. Some specimens from Province of Cajatambo, were rich in metallic tin.
