Charnockite outcrops are as distinctly bedded as in the case of 
the Dharwars. . 
Fourthly. The banded siliceo-ferruginous rocks so char- 
acteristic of the Dharwars and so abundant in some of their 
outcrops are equally abundant in some important outcrops of 
the Charnockites with which they are similarly interbedded. 
All these facts seem to point clearly to one conclusion: 
that the Charnockites may be the same rocks as the Dharwars, 
differing only in their mode of metamorphism.
