In addition, my thanks are due to certain of the officials of the districts 
and States I have had occasion to visit, for help given me whilst moving 
in their respective areas ; and to certai i of my colleagues, particuJarly 
Dr. HoUand,'^ Messrs. Middlemiss and Vredenburg, and Dr. Christie, 
for their kindly suggestions and criticisms. I have also to thank Mr. H. B. 
W. Garrick, Artist to the Geological Survey, for several excellent photo- 
graphs of mineral specimens, to Avhich, however, justice has not been 
done in the reproduction. Further, two students — G. G. Narke of 
Nagpur and Kiran Sengupta of Calcutta — working in the laboratory 
of the Geological Survey of India, have given me considerable help in 
testing minerals, taking specific gravities, and compiling statistics. 
A work of this sort would have been impossible withoiit a consider- 
able number of analyses, both of ores and picked 
Analytical work. . , . , . _ i i t 
mmerai specimens, h or these 1 am largely de- 
pendent on a series of 84 partial and complete analyses carried out at 
the Imperial Institute by Mr. G. S. Blake, under the supervision of 
Professor W. R. Dunstan, and to a further series of 67 partial and 
camplete analyses carried out by Messrs. J. and H. S. Pattinson of 
N3wcastle-on-Tyne. These have been supplemented by several other 
analyses, particularly of picked specimens of minerals, carried out in the 
Geological Survey laboratory, chiefly by Mr. T. R. Blyth, Assistant 
Curator of the Geological Museimi, but partly by my colleague, Mr. J.
