JHABTTA : AMLAMAL. 
G89 
The combined silica in analysis A. 42 cannot be taken as an index 
of the amount of liraunite ])resent, because of the spessartite also present. 
In A. 4.'} the presence of 59% braunite is indicated, although this may 
be too high owing to a certain proportion of spessartite. 
On the N.W. side of the tank immediately to the S.S.E. of Ram- 
bhilpur is an outcrop of red and lavender quartzites and of siliceous crystal- 
line limestone, the latter of which has been in places much replaced by 
pyrolusite and yellow ochre. 
3. Amlamal. 
According to my colleague, Mr. H. Walker, ^ who was able in 1907 
to visit some manganese occurrences in Jhabua not seen by me : — 
' Two occurrence.^ are to be seen hare— on?. ^ mile to the N. of the Tarwi's (vil- 
lage headman) house, and the other | mile to the S.W. of the same housa. 
' In each case the surface indications are confined to quartz blocks containing 
manganese-ore and are very limited in extent. A few small pits have been opened 
in those deposits and from these it is seen that the manganese-ore is contained in a 
steeply dipping fine-grained reddish-quartzite.' 
5. Tumdia. 
This deposit is close to Mandli. Mr. Walker writes : — 
' The occurrence is in a nill which lies | mile to the N.W. of the house of the 
Tarwi of Mandli. The hill is about 200 yards long, is 20 to .30 feet high, is whale- 
backed in shape and runs in a general direction to the N.N.W. 
' The ore-body outcrops on the top of the ridge and forms a small spine-hka 
prominence whicii strikes N.N. W.— S.S.E. It consists of a white to pink quartz- 
ite which contains veins and lenticles of mangansse-ore. From a pit dug in the 
outcrop of the ridge-top, it is seen that the manganese-ore-bearing band varies 
from 2-3 feet in thickness and is almost vertical. 
' In places the ore is good, bat on the whole there is too much qtiartzite.' 
6. Pitol. 
Mr. Walker says : — 
' This occurrence lies about 1 mile to the south-east of the Thana of Pitol. It 
forms a low mound — about 140 yards long — on each side of which runs a cart road 
leading from Pitol to Jhabua. 
' The ore — which se?ms to be very low grade — occurs interlaminated with 
quartz ' 
Some iron-ore containing a little manganese was noticed about 
2 miles to the N.E. of the Thana of Pitol.
