INDORE : KANAK RIVEU.

4 jiiilo up from rhe junction with the Kandr are Bijawar limestones with 
associated breccias. Tlieso breccias an^ often decomposeci, so that in- 
stead of being chert- or iiornstone- breccias, as they are when fresh, they 
are bettor described 'as sandstone-breccias'. Fiuther west these Bii^- 
war rocks are overlain by Tjametas, and as a part of the breccias may 
have been rearranged at the time of deposition of the Tjametas. it is diflfi- 
cult to determine the precise age of these breccias. In one place the 
breccia contains a considerable quantity of scattered wad v\'ith a littlf 
psilomelane in places. 
Near the edge of the Ijametas, fragments of manganiferous varieties 
of Lameta rocks are rather common in the nala. Amongst those found 
were Lameta grits, partly cemented by red oxide of iron, and partly by 
psilomelane ; and clay largely converted into a mixture of wad and li- 
monite, probably by replacement. The manganiferous grit was also 
foimd w in the Lametas, when this formation was reached (17'40.S, 
17-434, 17-435, 17-590 and 17-591). 
2. The Kanap Rivep. 
In the Kanar River at a point about 3J miles E.N.E. of Katkut, 
and opposite the ' stone quarries ' and A 831 shown on the 1-mch map, 
there is a good exposure of the porous siliceous breccias, associated with 
Bijawar limestone. In places the sandy matrix is replaced b}^ black 
oxide of manganese, usually taking the form of wad, wth the production 
of a breccia composed of angular fragments of white quartz-rock 
set in a matrix of wad (17-410, 17-594 and 17-595). 
3. Barel. 
In a tributary of the Kundi nala about 3| miles south-east of Kdtkut 
there is an exposure of Bijawar rocks, one band of which is a yellow and 
wliite siliceous breccia, which is more sandy in one place, then containing 
manganese oxide (17-598). 
4. Bhamar. 
The three foregoing occurrences are m the portion of Tndore lying to 
the west of the Dhar Forest. Bhamar, on the other hand, lies in the 
Nimawar pargana of Indore on the eastern side of the Dhar Korest and 
Chandgarh. Bhamar is about 7 miles N.N.E of Chandgarh 
village. The manganese occurs as black impregnationr, in breccia of dark 
reddish colour, with whitish quartzite, and associated with Bijawar 
rocks (17-400).
