North-West Frontier Province. 
Kohat District. 
In 1906 Amin Khan, one of the students at the Cawnpore Agricul- 
tural College, collected some geological specimens in the Kohat district 
amongst which Pandit Tej Shankar Kochak, instructor in geology at 
this college, recognized manganese-ore. 
The specimen sent to the Geological Survey Office is a small black 
flattish concretion about 1|- inches in diameter, which under the micro- 
scope is seen to be the result of the impregnation and partial replace- 
ment of a limestone by oxide of manganese. 
According to the information received, the locality from which the 
specimen was obtained is Tajut Hill near Ibrahim Zai in the Hangu 
tahsil of the Kohat district, and ' on the western side of this hill in the 
middle zone, there is an outcrop of a bed, which contains innumerable 
pieces of this ore\ 
The hill referred to is presumably the one shown on the Atlas sheet 
as situated 2 miles to the south of Ibrahim Zai, and named ' Taghoot 
Sir'. This, according to A. B. Wynne's geological map of this 
area, consists of nummulitic hmestone. 
It is not probable that the occurrence is of much, if any, economic 
value.
