Ore-bands Nos. 2, 3, and 4 were seen only in making tliis cross-section 
Ore-bands 2, 3, iiiid and were not followed along their strike, but they do 
not crop out at the surface at either the west or east 
end of the hill, where I crossed the main ore-band 5 ; they can hence be 
regarded as of much shorter length. The characters of these three ore- 
bands where crossed were as follows : — 
Ore-band 2. — 2-3 yards wide and composed of the usual mixture of 
manganese-ore, spessartite. and quartzite. 
Ore-band 3. — 3 yards wide and composed of buff-coloured fine- 
grained gondite altered in patches to ore. 
Ore-band 4. — 2 yards wide forming a wall-like outcrop striking E. 5°^. 
and composed of both hard grey ore and gondite. 
Bands 2 and 3 are of no apparent economic value ; band 4 contains a 
little ore that is possibly merchantable, but this is largely spoilt by quartz 
veins, etc. It is quite possible, however, that if these three bands were 
followed along their strike, they would be found to be sufficiently altered 
to ore in places to be workable. 
The main ore-band (5) is traceable for about 1,200 yards and varies 
, , in width at the outcrop from 12 to 53 feet. It is

nearly or quite vertical all the way, showing m places, 
however, a very steep southern dip. Its strike averages east to west ; at 
the west end it strikes east, changes to E. 20° N. on approaching 
the summit and then curls round through east to E. 10° — 15° S. at 
the east end. The extreme west end of the band is probably in Yedarbuchi
