Gukhwat, Distktct. 
Thon.— PyTcunda Putti. —These specimens exhibit granular iron pyrites imbedded 
in veins of quartz which occur in a dark greyish talcose schist. They are apparently 
not very rich in ore. 
Stli Chamlpur Putti — Sajbunga mine. —This is a haematite, rich in quality. It is 
slightly attracted by the magnet. 
Silt Gkandpur Putti—Khush mine. —This is evidently a micaceous ore, scaling off 
easily, minute crystals, resembling garnets, can be observed on the sides of the specimens. 
The adjacent beds seem to be chlorite schist. The ore affects the needle. 
Putti Biehla JVagpur—Bulchunda mine. —Specimens from these mines are also of a 
micaceous nature, and seem to contain in parts, minute crystals of quartz, pyrites, &e., 
otherwise it much resembles graphite, and leaves minute particles upon the fingers when 
touched. It does not influence the compass needle. 
Putti Biehla JVagpur—JaTchtoK mine. —This ore is probably a clay ironstone. It is 
of a light coffee colour, and of little specific gravity. 
Putti Biehla JVagpur—Gilet mine. —This ore is similar to that of the Bukhunda 
mine. 
Putti J\Tulla Dussoli—MJoTc mine. —The specimens appear to be magnetic iron ore 
rich in mineral; colour black, structure crystalline, and laminated. It possesses highly 
magnetic properties. 
Putti Mutta Dussoli — Churbung mine. —This corresponds to that of the Mole mine, 
one fragment is a natural loadstone and exhibits its polarity in the direction of the planes 
of lamination. (P) It seems very rich in iron. 
Putti Buchursyun — Diigura mine. —It is difficult to define of what nature these speci¬ 
mens may he: possibly an earthy hydrated oxide of iron. Its colour varies from yellow¬ 
ish-brown to dusky black, streak the same. It is of little specific gravity, the clay seemingly 
predominating. 
Putti Idyaleote — PipuU mine. —Probably a hydrous form of sesquioxide of iron, clav 
largely predominates. 
Putti Idyaleote — Danda Toll mine. —The ore from this mine seems an argillaceous 
variety of brown haematite. 
Putti Painu, — Ghulya mine. —Very similar to the last mentioned. 
A specimen of iron ore brought from the neighbourhood of Milum, called by the natives 
of Mulla Johar ‘ Buldunga’, seems a crystalline variety of red hamratite. It is used 
there for a red dye, the colour being extracted by rubbing the stone on a hard surface 
while wet. 
Sulpha's.—T his occurs frequently in the clay shale, and argillaceous rocks in the lower 
ranges. A stream running down beside the suspension bridge at Katgodam contains it 
in solution. A stream near Xurgoli village (new Tliul Road) Putti Athagaon is strongly im¬ 
pregnated with sulphur, and deposits it freely upon twigs, leaves, &c. 
Sal a jit, —'With reference to my remarks upon this substance in my last report, and a 
note by Dr. Oldham thereon, I would mention that I was led to form my opinion from a 
substance called Salajit and sold as such, wthich was brought to me from Gurhwal as the
