They occur all along the ranges which border the Gangetic plains on the south and are very prevalent in Bundelkhand in certain parts of the United Provinces and in the northern districts of the Central Provinces. [...] The latter are to be described in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal by the Curator of the Lucknow Musenm. [...] These discoveries prove the range of copper implements all across Northern India almost from the Elooghly to the far side of the Indus and from the foot of the Himalayas to the Cawnpore district. [...] The ones represented in the collection were obtained by R. B. Foote and W. King of the Geological Survey of India in the years 1865 St 1866 and an account of the circumstances of the finds is given in the Pro° Asiatic Soc. [...] They were associated with gravels much the same as those already described the one in the face of the bank at 4 feet from the surface ; the other on the sloping edge of a cemented gravel bank in the bed of the stream.
