Newbold describes the manganese deposits and workings of the Kupput-Gode Range in the Southern Mahratta Country of India. He discusses the occurrence and character of the manganese ore, its geological setting, and the methods by which the deposits were worked. The brief account forms part of his series on the mineral resources of southern India and provides an early nineteenth-century record of manganese mining in the region.
