copper were seen. Iron abounds in a hard ferruginous conglomerate, 
and also in an impure clay-iron-stone occurring in bands in the 
quartzite. The line of pits extends about a mile and more to the south, 
when they cease, and the band of quartzite appears to die away, or does 
not appear on the surface. 
“East of Jungumrajpilly, at a short distance from the village, is 
a broad band of hard calcareous quartzites, with numerous veins of 
quartz, chiefly in north-north-east lines. In the quartz are abundant 
traces of copper. This band strikes north-by-west, dipping east-by-north 
at 30.° To this succeed bluish grey slates, with the same dip at lower 
angles. The quartz veins do not pass into these. Again, taking the band 
of calcareous quartzites east of village and tracing it southwards, there 
are two bands with a narrow belt of slates between, traceable for about 
two miles and a half. Traces of copper in the north-north-east quartz 
veins are tolerably abundant; also copper pyrites and traces of green 
carbonate. The continuity of the band is broken by cross-faults ; first 
about a mile from Jungumrajpilly, where it seems to have had a local 
shift to the east; and, again, about a quarter of a mile further where it 
seems thrown back again. The general dip is east-by-north at about 25° ; 
but the westerly band is generally at a lower angle, and rolling, even 
dipping 5° west in one or two places. At the southern end the band is 
ferruginous. About west-by-north of Raiculcoonta it ceases.” 
Further west on the flanks of this range, opposite Wonypenta, 
and at the entrance of the Ghingroy Convoy, there are rolling beds of 
calcareous slate and silicious limestone, having a general dip eastwards, 
which have been opened up by long galleries or gullies. These excava- 
tions are made across the strike, and nearly in the east-north-east line of 
jointing, and are evidently old lead mines, though the workings do not 
seem to have been run in the most favourable line, if the lead occurs 
here in the same way as it does at and around oe. No 
traces of lead were, however, observed here.
