MANGANESE DEPOSITS OF INDIA : DESCRIPTIVE. [ PakT IV : 
haruvu Jttgir. Both these jagirs are held by the Kumaraswami temple, 
of which the Raja of Sundur is the hereditary trustee. Since all the 
manganese -ore deposits of the Sandur State lie in the hill ranges, which 
are forest-covered over nearly the whole of their length, all the 
deposits that lie outside the two jagirs mentioned above ate in State 
Forests, a portion of which has been leased to the British Government 
for a number of years, in consideration of an annual payment to the 
Sandur State. The mining rights are, however, retained by the 
State. 
A map of this State, kindly supplied by Mr. Ghose and on which he 
has mapped in the manganese-ore deposits, shows 9 deposits in the 
Ramandrug area, 10 in the KannevihalH area,

20 m the Kumaraswami area, and 27 in the 
Kamataru area. This makes a total of 66 deposits. In addition there 
are 20 other deposits of which the exact positions on the map had not 
been identified. By enquiry amongst the inhabitants of the areas where 
the manganese-ore deposits occur, Mr. Ghose has found that each of 
these deposits has a vernacular name. The name applies of course not 
to the deposits as such, but to the separate hillocks, hills, and outcrops, 
etc., in which they appear. The names are in Kanarese and are of a 
descriptive character, such as Yelakala Gadda meaning ' rocky place ', 
and Alada-marada Banda meaning banyan-tree outcrop '. Mr. Ghose 
Bays that he confirmed these names by getting them from more than 
< ne person. For the sake of future reference I give below a list of the 
deposits discovered by Mr. Ghose with the names that he has assigned 
to each.
