intercalated tlie manganese-ore deposits Nos. 1 to 8, invariably char- 
acterised by the presence of various manganese-silicates. And, on the 
supposition that the Chilpis have, in the western parts of this belt, become 
converted into gneisses and schists, one may suspect also that these man- 
ganese-ore deposits are only the metamorphosed forms of the manganese- 
ore bed occurring at or near the base of the Cliilpis further to the 
east. 
The strike and dip of the deposits (Nos. 9 to 11) at the base of the 
Chilpis conform to those of the Chilpis, namely a strike of north- 
north-east' to east-north-east, with the dips to the north-west side. 
The strike and dip of the deposits in the metamorphic and crys- 
talline series are much more variable.
