This deposit, the only one in Group III (page 735), is held by Messrs. 
Jessop & Co. and lies in Government Forest about a mile west-north- 
west of Paehara village. The ore occurs as a practically horizontal ' bed ' 
of varying thickness intercalated between vitreous quartzites, which are 
possibly felspathic. Owing to the practically horizontal stratification of 
the rocks, the outcrop of this deposit, instead of being moderately straight, 
is very sinuous, following the contour of the quartzite hills on the southern 
and south-eastern slopes of which it occurs. I traced it in all for about 
halt a mile along the flanks of these hills, but the length measured along 
the curves of the outcrop was about 1| miles. The outcrop may reappear 
again to the east-north-east. Had the ore-'bed' been continuous it might 
have been expected to crop oat again on the northern flanks of this range 
of quartzite hills, but a search made there failed to reveal its presence, so 
that, as the bedding of the quartzites appears to remain approximately 
horizontal, it is evident that the ' bed ' of ore thins out to the north in the 
same way as it seems to do to the west, south, and east. 
The ' bed ' of ore is mostly about 1 i feet thick, but the thickness 
increases to 5 feet in some places and becomes as low as 4 inches in 
others. The 'bed' is not sharply separated from the overlying and under- 
lying quartzites. The overlying quartzites are usually more or less 
broken where they rest on the ore and sometimes partially replaced by 
limonite near the contact ; and there are also thin manganiferous layers, 
probably secondary replacement products, here and there in these over- 
lying quartzites. The underlying quartzite is sometimes separated from
