in which the subject is dealt with in standard works on Geology. In spite of the fact that the systematic exploration of the Geology of India has been in operation for a quarter of a century, old exploded hypotheses have been passed on from one text-book to another, and their statements regarding the age of the coal, the diamonds, and many other mineral productions far from represent the present state of our knowledge.
While these pages were passing through the press, I have succeeded, I believe, in identifying the mine where the Koh-i-nur was discovered. The results of this inquiry, together with a proposed explanation of the myth regarding diamond mining in India, as described in the travels of Marco Polo, Sindbad the Sailor, &c, will be found in the Appendix.
