MANGANESE DEPOSITS OF INDIA : DESCRIPTIVE. 
[Part IV: 
l.-THE DHARWAR-SHIMOGA BAND. 
This crosses the very west end of the district. Mr. A. Ghosc, of 
Messieurs Jambon and Cie., tells me that the South Indian Mining 
Syndicate and Jambon and Cie. each have manganese concessions on a 
series of low spurs to the west of Teligi Hill, which lies about 10 miles 
N. N. E. of Harihar and is in the Harpanahalli taluk. Foote marks 
three bands of hematitic quartzite on the map at Teligi hill. A speci- 
men from here shown me by Mr. Ghose was a cavernous mixture of 
pyrolusite and limonite, in which the pyrolusite was radiate-concentric 
and seemed to be subsequent in time of formation to the limonite- 
Nodules of psilomelane ha\ e been found by one of Mr. Ghose' s explorers 
near ' Currabaguddy ' Hill, some 8 miles N. W. of Teligi Hill. 
2.-THE DAMBAL-CHIKNAYAKANHALLI BAND. 
Mr. J. M. Maclaren, formerly of the Geological Survey of India, 
found an unimportant occurrence of manganese-ores at the northern 
end of a ridge of limonitic quartzites, about 2 miles south of Hamigi 
m the Dharwar district, at a point about a mile east of Handigenura 
and 6 miles west of Huvinhadagalli in the Huvinhadagalli taluk of the 
Bellary district. 1 
3.— SANDUR-COPPER MOUNTAIN BAND. 
No manganese-ores seem yet to have been discovered in the Copper 
Mountain portion of this band. The range has been explored by 
Mr. Ghose's scouts, but without success. In the Sandur portion of the 
belt, however, a large number of deposits have been discovered. Most 
of these lie within the limits of the Sandur State and are described 
under that heading. Outside this State, Messieurs Jambon & Cie. have 
obtained deposits in the N. W. end of the Sandur syncline, in the 
portion lying in Hospet taluk. The chief of these is Kalhalligudda. 
A small portion of the deposits at the southern end of the Sandur Hills 
lies outside the limits of the Sandur State in the reserved forest of 
Tonashagiri and Tumraguddi, in the Kudligi taluk of the Bellary 
iJlec. G.S.I. , XXXIV, p. 129, (1906).
