If the syncline of manganiferous limestones comes to the surface at 
Junapilni so as to disappear to tlie east, it is evident that still further 
east (namely at Rajkota) what was once a part of the same band 
reappears. 
The Nimfir District. 
When vvorkins; in this district in the field season of 1902-03 T found 
four occurrences of manganese, one in the Chandgarh section of the 
district, and three in the ITarsud tahsil. The. four occurrences, curiously 
enough, belong to four different formations, the Lametas, Bijawais, 
Deccan Trap, and Vindhyans, respectively. They are probably all 
examples of surface impregnation and replacement, and consequently 
can in no ca.se be expected to continue to any depth. Moreover, the 
quality of the ores is very poor ; hence in no case can the occurrence 
described be regarded as of any possible economic value. 
The following is a list of the manganese localities : — 
1. Chandgarh. 
2. Jamdihi 5^ala. 
• 3. Bunkuta. 
1. Chandgarh. 
In the nala situated about |- mile S. E. of Chandgarh, where it flows 
over Lameta rocks, there is in one place an exposure of a sandy facies of 
this formation. This rock is pinky yellowish, laminated, with black 
layers owing their colour to impregnation with oxide of manganese. One 
specimen collected contained a certain proportion of calcite as well as 
of manganese oxide (17'IM and ! 7-116). 
2. Jamdihi Nala. 
In the Jamdihi N^id at a point about li miles N. N. W. of the village 
of Gohugaon, and | mile S. E. of the left bank of the Narbada river, 
th ere is a series of outcrops, for a distance of about 200 yards along the 
stream, of a manganiferovis breccia. The breccia shows vvhite angular
