The Ijakhanwilra ores vary from crystalline-granular, in which the 
quantity of psilonielane must be small, to ores showing a crystalline 
mineral in a psilomelane matrix. There is probably a certain proportion 
of braunite in these ores ; but the crystalline mineral is to a large extent 
one of the strongly magnetic minerals, either mangan-magnetite or 
vredenburgite. The bronze tint visible in places probably indicates 
vredenburgite. 
Perhaps 300 yards west of the Lakhanwara outcrops noticed above, 
Mathura Prasad's some openings made by Rai Sahib Mathura Prasad 
deposits. have revealed the presence of further masses of 
manganiferous rock. The two workings are situated on the two banks 
of the Gehra Nala of the map. The opening on the east bank of the 
nala shows soft schistose gneisses pierced by masses and veins of granite 
and pegmatite ; the ore-band is not properly exposed, but is probably 
a mixture of quartz, spessartite, and manganese-ore, intercalated in 
the schists. A little to the south-west of this on the west bank of the 
nala is a run of coarse spessartite in vein-quartz in a ' country ' of the 
usual schistose gneisses. The ore seems to occur as a lenticle in this rock, 
and is softish and mixed with spessartite. Traversing the schists is 
some pegmatite composed of quartz, felspar, and mviscovite. Most 
of the ore stacked from these two occurrences was small in quantity, 
showed various impurities, and did not strike me as being of much com- 
mercial value.

The deposit kno\vn by this name is situated in the area marked ' see- 
tapar jungle ' on the 1-inch sheet. No. 54, Central Provinces Sur- 
vey, and about \\ miles west-north-west of Sitapar village, marked as 
' Pangree ' on the map. It takes the form, as far as the outcrop is con- 
cerned, of a lenticular body of ore 60 yards long and 20 yards wide, form- 
ing a small hillock 30 to 40 feet high, situated on the south side of a low
