PRODUCTION FIGURES. 
445 
In the foregoing tables I have given the figures of output of the diff- 
erent manganese-ore deposits of India as supplied to me personally by 
the various mine managers and agents. Below I give the figures for 
production as given in the Statistics for Mineral Production published 
annually by the Government of India, formerly in the publications 
of the Statistics Department, and now in the Records of the Geological 
Survey of India. I give these figures because they are the ones that 
have been quoted in all previous publications either in India or abroad.

A perusal of the foregoing tables of figures reveals several interesting 
facts. The first is that the total production of the Indian manganese- 
ore deposits since the commencement of the industry in 1892 has increased 
from 674 tons in 1892 to nearly 600,000 tons in 1906. The total? are
