MANGANESE DEPOSITS OF INDIA : DESCRIPTIVE. [PaRT IV : 
A piece of black magnetic slag sent by Mr. K. C. Cowasji to the 
Geological Survey was found to be manganiferous. It was picked up 
in a field at Yeruli, and is probably another indication of the fact that 
manganese-ores were formerly made use of in this district in iron-smelting 
(see page 665). 
11. Khanapup. 
Three small concretions of psilomelane, found on the surface of a 
low hill 4 miles east of Khanapur, were forwarded to the Geological 
Survey Office in 1905 by Mr. H. Wallinger, Assistant Superintendent 
of Police, Satara. From specimens obtained from a pit dug there, it 
seems that these concretions were lying on the surface of lateritic rock 
free from manganese-ore.
