ECONOMIC RESOURCES : IRON. 



123 



At Dehiee I believe the merchant receives Rs. 9 for a pucka maund. 

 This is a very high price indeed = Rs. 252 per ton. 



It remains only to give a list of the localities where iron is now 

 manufactured — at present in Palamow and Toree, so far as I have been 

 able to ascertain.*

A list supplied to me from Daltonganj proved so inaccurate that I only give the 

 names of places where I have actually seen furnaces. 



^ This is the only furnace excavated in a bank of clay which I have seen in this 

 axea.
