MANGANE:5E deposits Ol' INDIA : DESCRIPTIVE. [ParT IV : 
Output. 
To the east this deposit is probably cut off by a fault, for inicrocline 
and other quartzites appear on the line of strike. It seems probable that 
this is a continuation of the Alesur manganese- ore band, which also occurs 
in crystalline limestone ; but if this be the case there is probably a fault 
possibly connected with the pegmatite intrusion noted on page 790, 
between the two, this accounting for the lateral shift of one relative to the 
other. 
During 1006 some 600 tons of ore were extracted from this deposit. 
I do not know if this ore has ever been despatched to 
the railway. 
8. Ghoti.i 
(Indian Manganese Company.) 
This deposit is situated within the limits of a village, called Bharkum, 
no longer existing, the site of which is about miles north-east of 
Ghoti. 
There are two parallel bands of ore having a strike about E. 10° N. 
Of these the southern band is about 750 yards long as seen at the surface, 
and the more northern one only 440 yards. For 150 yards at their 
western end these two bands form the north and south edges, respectively, 
of a hillock about 50 feet high, and are separated by some cultivated 
ground occupying the flattish top of the hillock between. Judging 
from scattered fragments, this ground must be composed of micaceous fels- 
pathic schists with some pegmatite of muscovite, white felspar, and 
quartz, j^robably intrusive in the schists. To the east of this hillock 
the ore outcrop takes the form of a very low hillocky ridge, and where a 
nala crosses the deposit about its middle it is seen that the dip is either 
very steep to the N. 10° W. or is vertical, and also that the southern band 
is really composed of two bands, of which the most southern is 143 paces 
south of the most northern of the three bands. 
The ore-band consists partly of fairly good ore, partly of grey and 
white quartzites and felspathic bands, aiid partly of mixtures of ore, spes- 
sartite, and quartz. A little rhodonite was also seen at the eastern end, 
near which was also a pegmatite-like rock of pinkish white felspar (micro- 
cline), quartz, and yellow spessartite. The relations of this pegmatite 
to the ore-body could not be made out. The garnet varies from bright
