and shows that the ore consists of about equal proportions of braunite 
and psilomelane. The quality of this ore is evidently somewhat in- 
ferior to that of the ore in situ.

Mr. R. D. Connell of ore obtained from some trial pits here : —

are, near a pillar marking the boundarv between the 
Ottrelite. . . . . " 
village-areas of Sitasaongi and Chikhla, some masses, 
10 feet high, of a very coarse silvery mica-schist, with the dip about 
vertical, the strike being about east. This rock, which contains ottrelitt, 
garnet, tourmaline, rutile, and ilmenite (?), is noticed in more detail on 
page 313.

This deposit was discovered in the field season of 1893-94 by Mr. 
P. N. Datta. The outcrop can be traced for about | mile, of which the 
western portion striking east-north-east lies in the limits of the village 
of Garkar Bhunga, while the eastern portion striking about due east lies 
in Asalpani limits. It is possible that the band may reappear at the 
surface further to the west at any point between here and the Guguldoho 
deposit (see page 947). The outcrop lies mostly on low ground, but in 
one place towards the western end it rises to the top of a hillock, perhaps
