SANDUR STATR.

In other cases the included fragments are rounded, suggesting that they 
have been water rolled hefore being cemented by the oxide of iron. 
This is probably the truth in some cases, but in others I am inclined to 
think that the rounding of the fragments is due, not to their being 
cemented detrital fragments, but to their being the remains of a rock 
that has been partly replaced by secondarily deposited oxide of iron, 
the replacement tending to leave the residual fragments with rounded 
outlines. 
We can now pass to the consideration of the manganese-ore 
deposits. As already mentioned, Mr. Ghose has located some 90 of 
them. They all lie in the western and 
poSs. '"•■'"S^^""'-'^'^-"''^' southern parts of the State. The North-eastern 
and DonimaH ranges forming the north-eastern 
boundary of the State have not yet been prospected, except for a couple 
of days spent by Mr. Ghose in the North-eastern range. This led 
to the location of one deposit (Hirai Gangadi) near Joga village ; further 
prospecting of this and the Donimali Range may lead to the discovery 
of many other deposits. The deposits located by Mr. Ghose may be 
divided into four groups :— 
1. The Ramandrug deposits, 
2. The Kannevihalli deposits, 
3. The Kumaraswami deposits, 
4. The Kamataru (or Kammatharuvu) deposits. 
The Ramandrug deposits all occur within about a mile of Raman- 
drug, and are situated mostly on the edge of, or a little down the west 
slope of, the plateau. The Kannevihalli deposits are situated on the 
hills for a distance of about If miles on either side of the Oblagandi 
gorge, where the Narihalla enters the syncline. The Kumaraswami 
deposits are situated partly on the top of the plateau, and partly down 
the outer slopes of the hills in the south western corner of the State. 
They are all within 2| mile of Kmnaraswami Pagoda. The Kamataru 
deposits lie on the southern side of the State near its south-eastern 
corner, and are partly on top of the plateau, and partly on the S. E. and 
S. W. slopes of a bay in the hills projecting up from the south. 
All these deposits lie within State lands, except some of those in the 
Kamaraswami aiea that lie within the Swamihalli J^gvc, and most of 
the deposits on the Kamataru plateau, which lie within the Kammat-
