made on the rich minerals of this region. As for instance, in the spring of 
last year I made a report on behalf of the geological Institute of Hungary 
(128 May 1910 No. 280), on the iron and manganese ores of Godinesd, 
Petresd and Tomasesd. Later on, the 228 June Mr. JurEs BavER, mining 
engineer, investigated the manganese deposits of Godinesd. Still later, 17" of 
August 1910, Mr. IGwace BazoGH, private engineer in Budapest, made a 
detailed report on the iron and manganese ores of Godinesd. ? 
Those reports contain a description of all the copper, iron and manga- 
nese ores ofsthat region and deseribe also in detail the geological conditions 
of it. It is therefore unnecessary for me to go again into further detail. 
I will mention only that. during the past ten years, I have had many 
opportunities to study the metal-bearing points of Zám, Petresd, Almásel and 
Almásszelistye, and that the rich copper bearing ore of Almásszelistye has 
been mined almost before my eyes, and under my directions. On sinking the 
shaft the sediment at 100 m was found to be much richer than at the 
surface. S0 the supposition, as to the lodes becoming less as one goes deeper, 
is here without foundation. The lodes do not decrease at the depth but con- 
tinue in the strike direction and in the depth. 
To find these lodes, one has only to direct the prospecting with the 
knowledge of the nature of the ground. 
Let us now study the manganese deposits of Godinesd. 
II. Description of the outcrops. 
A) The manganese deposits at Mountain Meruluj. 
The most eastern manganese deposit lies at 14 km east of the station 
Zám, on Mount Meruluj, at an altitude of 520 m above sea-level. On the 
upper part of the valley Meruluj (in the field of Juov NIxoka), has been found 
in two places rich manganese ores. In both places the existence of the lode 
has been proved, having a thickness varying from 1 to 150 m. The lode 
passes through tuffis of melaphyre and continues in the depths, which is 
proved by the fact that the same ore has been found at the bottom of the 
valley. The is first class pyrolusite. According to the assay of Mr. K. Emszr, 
assyer of the geological Institute, the ore contains:
