MANGANESE DEPOSITS OF INDIA : DESCRIPHVK. [ ParT IV 
An analysis of manganiferous micaceous hematite from Ghogra by- 
Messrs. Giickrist and Riley i gives the following : — 
Manganese 6-37 
Iron 28-15 
Siliceous matter . . . . . , .45-00 
Phosphorus ........ 0-03 
Sulphur ........ trace 
Moisture . 0-32 
These ores have long been smelted locally with the production of a 
superior steely iron, known as kheri. When I visited the locality in 
November 1904, furnaces were being built for the ensuing season at 
Ghogra only. For an account of the industry see the first of Mr. Bose's 
papers, pages 87, 88 ; and for an analysis of the kheri, see page 596 
of Part III of this Memoir. 
14. KUPPU (KUFO). 
Manganiferous ores, either manganiferous hematite or psilomelane, 
are marked by Bose as occurring near this village. See the map 
attached to the first of his papers.

See Bose, page 225. 
Manganiferous ores are marked in the map attached to the first of 
Bose's papers as occurring at the N. W. foot of Lora Hill {"1923 on the 
1-inch map).

See Bose, page 75. 
Mr. Bose records a section seen in a trench constructed by him in 
Sakri mauza near the boundary with Sarda, at a point about 1^ miles 
E. N. E of Sihora station. Cleaning out this trench has led me to 
canclusions somewhat different from those of Mr. Bose. Thus he records 
a length of 230 feet of manganiferous hematite at the N. W. end of the 
trench. This figure seems to have been arrived at by opening up only 
parts of the whole length, intermeJiute portions to a total of GO feet
