that parts at least of these deposits have been subjected to the action of 
moving water. The white quartzite fragments that are so abundant 
in certain layers were probably transported to th"ir present position in 
earher times when the local drainage was somewhat different to the 
present. It will be seen from figure 57 that a layer of manganese-ore 
gravel in the quartzite gravel tails out to zero. As many of the 
manganese-ore pebbles and boulders in many parts of these detrital 
deposits are rounded so as to suggest that they have been roUed by 
water, and as, moreover, where not yet quarried, these detrital accum- 
ulations are often covered by soil and grass, it will be seen that they 
cannot to any extent be in process of formation at the present day ; and 
it seems probable that in earlier times the accumulations round the 
base of the hill were sorted or rolled by water, leaving the fragments 
higher up the slopes in their original angular condition.

The manganese-ores of Mansar Hill were first brought to notice by 
Lieutenant R. E. Oakes in 1859,1 and later the outcrop was described by 
Mr. Wilson, Executive Engineer of the Kanhan Division, as being
