Extract

Two theories have been put forward in order to explain the formation of manganese deposits in marine muds, and more particularly with regard to manganese nodules: one by Murray, in a paper read before this Society in 1876, the other by Buchanan in 1888. Murray assumes the gradual oxidation of carbonate of manganese resulting ultimately in the formation of hydrated peroxide of manganese.
