750 MANGANESE DEPOSITS OF INDIA : DESCEIPTIVE. [pAET IV: 
6. Mohugaon Ghat. 
Crossing a road in this village is a small outcrop, striking N. 15° E 
of .\Very dark spessartite-quartz-rock partly altered to manganese-ore. 
To the north it is lost amongst houses and to the south disappears almost 
at once. The outcrop can be only a few yards long, and is 4 feet 
wide. 
7. Pandapwani. 
(Me. R. H. Richardson.) 
I saw here no manganese-ore in situ, but only a few scattered frag- 
ments of hard grey ore and gondite lying on the surface at a point about 
350 yards E. 20° S. of the large tank situated on the south-east side 
of the village. One or two tiny pits that had been dug showed only 
a little talus- ore. Some deeper excavation work might by chance 
expose the ore-body from which these fragments were derived ; but there 
was nothing to indicate exactly where to dig. The rock cropping out 
here is very contorted mica-schist with quartz lenticles, and strikes 
E. 38° N. 
In December 1907 I found that extensive excavations had been made 
by Mr. R. H. Richardson in the portions of the detritus from the Miragpur 
deposit lying in Pandarwani limits. One section showed : — 
4" Clay. 
11" Pisolitic manganese-ore detritus. 
9" to 1' Pebble ore. 
10" Pisolitic manganese-ore detritus. 
2" Pebble ore. 
Resting on altered and raangauesc-impregnatcd niica-schist. 
These detrital deposits were yielding a considerable amount of ore. 
8. Salebaddi. 
At a point about | mile E. 12° S. from the village, a few shallow pits 
had been dug showing a little detrital manganese-ore mixed with frag- 
ments of white quartz. The ore was the hard grey braunite-psilomelane 
mixture with quartzite bands, while there were also some pieces of the 
softer speckled ore and of gondite. There were no indications as to 
the source of this ore, and the occurrence was not of any apparent economic 
value. 
9. Chikhla II. 
Just outside the village on its south-west side a couple of small pits 
showed a little detrital ore, which was also sparsely scattered ou the sur-
