Extract

The mineral described below was found by the present writer, in the year 1893, at Kodikanal on the Palni Hills, in the Madura District of the Madras Presidency. These hills, which rise at Kodikanal to a height of 7000 feet above the sea, form a range some thirty miles long in a WSW.-ENE. direction, with a breadth about half as great. They are composed of grey igneous rock, belonging to Mr. T. H. Holland's ‘Charnockito’ series, the slight foliation being in a direction coincident with that of the range, while the dip is at high angles. The mountains are at present mostly clothed with grass only, the soil being highly Charged with peaty matter, and moderately fertile.
