72 GEOLOGY OF TRICHINOPOLY, &C. [ChAP. IV. 1. 



high up over a fine peak and presenting to the eye an appearance very 

 much like that of some of the smaller peaks of the Godumullay ridge. 

 This CYSig, which hears the name of Palicontra Swamy Mullay^ may very 

 likely he a continuation of the hed in question^ but there was no op- 

 portunity of examining it. 



13. Two miles east of the last a small bed of fair quality crosses 

 the main stream of the Purkumchairy valley. 



14. A little more than a mile north-east of Innaud is a rather 

 poor bed. 



15. A few hundred yards east of Pellapoondee a fine bed of rather 

 rich ore is exposed on the flanks of a hill rising high over that village. 



16. Two fine beds of rich ore occur in dense jungle on the west 

 flank of the Great Moodoor hill. One or other of these in all probability 

 represents the great Pookanum hill bed. 



17. A little more than a mile south of Moodoor hill, the village of 

 Coveyeth stands on the northern slope of a hill, the crest of which is 

 formed by a large bed of magnetic iron ore. 



18. A small bed occurs in the valley north of Yaelloor, about 2 

 miles south-east from the foregoing. 



19. Two small beds occur at the foot of the western slope of the 

 Aviarmullay (Trigonometrical-station) . 



Sotit/i of the Vellmor a small but rich bed included in the series ex- 

 T? d th f th V 1- posed in the remarkable curve of the Mulliakerra 

 ^^^- hiU (Trigonometrical-station). 



20. A connection may probably exist between the foregoing and 

 two poorer beds running for a couple of miles west from Arriapolliam, a 

 village distant about a mile from the north-west spur of MuUiaken-a hill. 



31. Two good beds occur on a great hill north-west of Pythoor :-^ 

 23. And at the southern foot of the Alitoor hill, whence the very 



numerous furnaces iti blast at that important village are supplied with 



iron sand.
