These chips were collected in Mysore when it was a state in west India, now the state of Karnataka. They were part of the collection of the India Museum in London, a museum formed by the East India Company in 1801 to display artefacts, natural history specimens and illustrations from the Indian subcontinent. The chips were given the common name hatri chilta and their value is given at 175 to 401 rupees per ton.
