Khondalite Series. 
(Vizagapatam, Ganjam and Orissa.) 
The term khondalite was given by Dr. T. L. Walker 1 to a series 
of rocks supposed to be para-scliists or metamorphosed sediments ; 
they form, together with garnetiferous biotite gneissose granites and 
rocks of the charnockite series, the great elhpsoidal outcrop of Archaean 
crystallines that stretches in a north-easterly direction through Godavari, 
Vizagapatam, Kalahandi, and Ganjam, to Orissa, and that gives rise to 
the mountain or hill ranges known as the Eastern Ghats. The khondalites 
are composed essentially of garnet, sUlimanite, quartz, and graphite ; but
