It is interesting that the talus should contain marketable manganese- 
ore, while the outcrop on the spurs above is fairly fresh manganese- 
silicate-rock. It means, of course, that the part of the band denuded 
away at this point was composed largely of manganese-ore, the underly- 
ing partly altered or quite fresh rock being now left. 
^ ^ The output from this deposit during 1906 and 1907 
' is given as follows : — 
Year. Long tons. 
1906 1,121 
1907 2,2691 
The 1906 output must include the 900 tons I foimd extracted in 1904.

About half a mile north-north- west of the village I was shown three 
or four shallow holes (about 2 feet deep), from which some dark purplish 
boulders and pebbles of rather soft gondite, partly altered to manganese- 
ore, had been dug, while I had also seen some loose blocks of similar rock 
to the north-west of this place. It is quite possible that there is a band 
of such rock, somewhere in the neighbourhood, but I had not time to 
search for it. It is noticeable, moreover, that these pits are almost 
directly on the line of strike of the Mandri and Panchala deposits, which 
lie about 2| miles to the west-north-west. 
Messrs. Jessop and Company return the following figures of output for 
1906 and 1907 ; — 
Year. Long tons.

I do not know whether by Bhandarbori they mean a part of what I call 
Guguldoho, or whether they have found a deposit of considerable size in 
Bhandarbori limits. 
Including 596 tons from Bhardachur-Guguldoho Hill.
