| Clay from a bed occurring in two small
.hillocks at two neighbouring villages of
Agaria and Jeti at a distance of 20 miles from
Sihora Railway Station in the Jabbalpur
district of Madhya Pradesh has been studied.
The clay bed occurs at a depth of 30 to 40 ft.
below the surface and is overlain by banded
haematite. The clay contains on an average
·64 per cent of silica. Its optical, physicochemical
and other properties have been
studied. The clay is considered to be good
enough for the manufacture of inferior grade
.of ceramic goods. |
