11. Dudhara.i 
On the south-east side of ' Dudara H ' are two bands of spessartite- 
quartz-rock (gondite), both of them much too fresh to be of any com. 
niercial value. The strike is south-east with a dip of 50° to the south- 
west, whilst the ' country ' consists of soft biotite-gneisses and schists. 
At their north-west ends, where they pass under the I.ametas and trap 
of Dudhara Hill, they are in the Chhindwara district, while at the south- 
east end they run into the Nagpur district and are there lost in the jungle. 
The more south-westerly of the two bands is extremely interesting ; 
for it is a fine example of the lenticular thickening and thinning of bands 
of gondite. At its widest point it is 75 feet across ; whilst it thins 
out to practically nothing at its N. W. end, and also disappears 
when traced to the S. E. After this it reappears as a thin band and 
runs into the Nagpur district.
