MANGANESE DEPOSITS OF INDIA : DESCRIPTIVE. [ PaRT IV : 
Punjab. 
Jhang District. 
In the Kirana Hills, which are composed largely of quartzites with 
clay slates and are probably of Aravalli age, Dr. A. Fleming i found 
pyrolusite ' filling small cracks in the sandstone of some small speci- 
mens.' 
K^ngra District. 
Mr. Marcadieu 2 reports the find, during the construction of a canal 
at a point 4 miles N. W. of Dharmsala, of crystals of a mineral that 
' approaches by its composition and crystalline form to .... marcelline ' 
(an impure form of braunite), the nidus being a ferruginous and 
manganiferous siliceous limestone. Judging from the map of this 
area by H. B. Medlicott ^, this limestone must be the Krol limestone. 
Mr J. Calvert mentions pyrolusite in his list of minerals from Kulu. 
It should also be noted that Newbold, as early as 1 840, mentioned the 
occurrence of manganese associated with iron in the Himalayas 5 and 
was possibly referring to this district. 
Lahore District. 
Mr. Baden H. Powell says that manganese is found in the Lahore 
bazaar as a binoxide (peroxide), called ' jugni ' or ' niissi siya ' 6. In 
another place he calls it ' nijm' ' or ' injani (or ingani')' 7. and says that 
it is principally used at Lahore to remove the colour of glass containing 
iron and is said to be imported from Kashmir and Kabul 8. Balfour 9 
says that manganese occurs in the bazaars of the Punjab ' in the form 
of a silicated sesquioxide and a peroxide '. 
Patiala State. 
Mr. P. N. Bose 1*> records the existence about Goela, Durga ka 
Nangal, etc., in the Narnaul district of this State, of extensive deposits
