6 FOOTE : GEOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF THE EASTERN COAST. 



travelling and by his having been misled by the very incorrect maps 

 which alone then existed. 



Of the several localities he mentions where copper ores exist, none 

 appear to lie within the limits of this memoir : Agnigundala, or Agni- 

 condalah (as he calls it), lies among the Kadapa rocks ; Ganypittah, and 

 probably also Terrapally in the Pannur ( ? Pamur) pergunnah, are among 

 the small copper mines (now worked out) lying within the limits of 

 sheet 77. These are described in the first of a series of papers on the 

 mineral resources of Southern India published by Captain Newbold in 

 the seventh volume of the Royal Asiatic Society's Journal, p. 151. 



Benza's " Notes, chiefly geological, of a journey through the Northern 

 Circars, " commence at Masulipatam beyond the 

 Kistna, and treat entirely of the country to the 

 northward. Newbold's " Notes, principally geological, across the Penin- 

 sula of Southern India, from Kistnapatam to 

 Honawar," 3 just skirt the southern edge of sheet 

 76 of the Indian Atlas; whilst the same author's notes on the road from 

 Masulipatam to Goa 3 treat of the country between the coast and Hyder- 

 abad, north of the Kistna river. 



The next reference is to be found in a paper by the author, on the 

 distribution of stone implements in Southern 

 India, read before the Geological Society of London 

 in 18 68. 4 The occurrence of implement-bearing gravels at considerable 

 elevations in the neighbourhood of Pamur and at Nandanavanam, 

 at foot of the northern end of the Vellakonda range, was mentioned, and 

 the situation of the beds illustrated by a section comparing their position 

 with that of laterite beds in the Madras area held to be of the same 

 age. Some of these observations were republished in the author's 

 memoir of the Geology of the Madras area. 5
