 cimens of Iron Ore from Midnapore and of Sulphate of Iron from As- 

 sam. Of the latter Mr. Wagentrieber writes : " The quantity now 

 sent cannot be taken as a criterion of what it would actually cost 

 if collected in larger quantities, and regularly, but the expense at- 

 tending the six maunds and twenty-three seers was Ks. 17, on board 

 the Plat or at the rate of Es. 2-9-4 ; it could however be delivered on 

 the banks of the Berhampooter at a much lower rate than that."

 Secretary, Archseologia Vol. XXX Y. p. 2, and Proceedings
