The ores found in this district consist typically of the fine-grained 
The nature ond mixtures of braunite and psilomelane, characteristic 
quality of the ores. ^j^g manganese-ore deposits of the gondite series. 
In this district I have not seen any coarsely crystalline varieties of this 
ore. Crystalline manganates, to be grouped as hollandite, are, however, 
found in some quantity at two different deposits. These are Sitapar 
and Gowari Warhona. At Sitapar the ore is a coarse-grained crystalline 
mixture of this manganate with braunite, a bronze-tinted ore (sitaparite), 
pyrolusite, and an arsenate. As none of the deposits were being worked at 
the time of my fii-st visit I was compelled to take my samples from the 
outcrops of the deposits. The samples collected were analysed at the 
Imperial Institute and are inserted in their places under the descrip- 
tions of the different deposits. The limits and mean of 8 of these, No. 
8 being omitted as it was obviously much too siliceous to be of 
any use, are shown below :—

111 addition to the analyses of my own samples I am able, by the kind per- 
mission of the directors of Indian Manganese Company, Limited, to pub- 
lish analyses of samples collected by Messrs. H. Kilburn Scott and 
Selkirk, both of whom reported on the Chhindwara deposits, Mr Scott 
before, and Mr. Selkirk after, the formation of this company.
