HATJERITES— HSIPAW. 55 



Hinglaj stage.— E. Vredenburg (Rec. Geol. Surv. Ind., XXXIV, 

 90, 1906) applies the name of the Hinglaj mountain range in the 

 Makran to the shales and sandstones which conformably overlie 

 the Gaj series in that area. They are regarded as mostly Burdi- 

 galian in age, but possibly reaching to the Sarmatian in the upper 

 beds (loc. cil., 175). and it is asserted that, in eonsecprence of a 

 lithological resemblance between the two formations, some areas 

 mapped as Manchhar in Sincl (loc. cit.. 181) are really part of the 

 older Hinglaj. 



Hircine. — Name given by H. Piddington (Journ. As. Soc. Beiuj., XXI, 

 76,1853; XXII. 279, 185-1 ) to "a fossil resin from the oilfields 

 of Burma. 



Hislopite. — Name given by S. Haughton (Journ. Bo;/. Dab. Soc, II, 

 176, 1858-59; Phil. Mag., 4th Ser., XVII, 16, 1859, XXIII, 50, 

 1862) to a mineral from the amygdaloidal Deccan Trap. The 

 name is after 8. Hislop. W. T. Blanford pointed out (Mem. 

 Geol. Sun: Ind., VI, 141, f. n., 1867) that the mineral referred to 

 was evidently calcite coloured by green earth inclusions, and 

 T. H. Holland (Rec. Geol. Surv. Ind., XXVI, 166, 1893) showed that 

 beside the " green earth '" (related to celadonite), there are included 

 crystals of heulandite, both of these inclusions occurring in variable 

 proportions. The name hislopite is thus without specific value. 



Hollandite. — Mineral named after T. H. Holland by L. L. Fermor 

 (Trans. Min. and Geol. Inst. Ind., I, 76, 1906). A crystalline 

 form of psilomelane. being a complex mixture of manganates of 

 Fe, Al, Ba. Ca, Mg, K, Na, and Mn. Crystalline form, doubtful ; 

 occurs in separate crystals, massive crystalline aggregates and in 

 fibrous forms resembling coronadite. Found in the manganese- 

 ore deposits of Jhabua State and the Central Provinces. Largely 

 mined for export as a manganese-ore. 



HoiTOUZ series.— Named by G. E. Pilgrim (Mem. Geol. Surv. Ind., 

 XXXIV 7, 15, 1908) from the island of Hormuz (27° 31' ; 54° 55') 

 for a series of lavas and tuffs with interbedded clays and sand- 

 stones. Considered to be Upper Cretaceous or Lower Eocene. W. T. 

 Blanford (Rec. Geol. Surv. Ind., IV, 42, 1871) used a very similar 

 name, the Hormuz Salt formation, for the salt and its associated 

 volcanic rocks, and beyond the fact that they are younger than the 

 overlying Makran series, he was unable to assign any age to the.m . 



Hsipaw series. — Name used by P. N. Datta (Director's General 

 Report for 1899-1900, 118) for shales and purple sandstones, " will
