Note 5. Mr. A. S. McCreath's analysis of the coal referred to is as fol- 

 lows : 



P. C. 



Volatile Organic Matter 18.482 



Water 4.310 



Fixed Carbon (by loss) 74.358 



Sulphur 0.528 



Ash . . . , 2.322 



Sum 100. 000 



Eating this coal according to the system proposed by me in a paper in 

 the Trans. Am. Inst, of Min. Eng. and subsequently published as part ot 

 report MM, the p. c. Carbon is to the p. c. Volatile Hydro Carbon : : 80.1 

 : 19.9 and the "Fuel Ratio " would be 4 or within the range proposed for 

 the bituminous coals : (5 to 0). 



*No. G not counted in the average.
