Manley of the American Baptist Telngu Mission from various sites all over the Nellore District. In the, course of his long stay in this District where some years of his early youth were also spent, Dr. Manley had acquired a thorough knowledge of its geology and topography, and from these subjects it was a natural transition to its prehistoric arcnseology. He has described elsewhere1 how he began his collection in the neighbourhood of his own compound in Nellore town when he was stationed there a few years ago. In 1939, Dr. F. H. Gravely, Superintendent of the Government Museum, and myself were invited by Dr. Manley to see his collection. We visited several of the sites on our way to Nellore from Madras, the most important and interesting among them being the one named R1 in the list below. From Nellore we proceeded westwards as far as the Somasila pass seeing the sites on the way and skirting the foot of the Veligondas near Kullurn village. In the course of a second visit, I visited the sites near Tettu, Jiamapatnam and Gudluru. Dr. Manley had listed his tools very carefully, and the descriptions of the sites (pp. 3-10) are mainly based on information given by him. Several of Dr. Manley`s students and assistants at the Theological Seminary at Ramapatnam have begun, to take au intelligent interest in the stone tools which they often have the .pleasure of seeing in his "" Museum"" room.2 The present collection can be said to be fairly exhaustive as far as the Nellore town, Ramapatnam and Tettu areas are concerned, but the time that Dr. Manley could devote to the exploration of other sites has been brief in compariso Printed Pages: 92.
