1. GENERAL REMARKS. 



The greater willingness, recently shown by the Chinese to 

 have the mineral resources of their country investigated by the Ja- 

 panese, naturally led several of our scientific men to avail themselves 

 of the opportunity to explore the mines and coal-fields of the in- 

 terior of that bulky empire. 



Between the years 1809 and 1900, Mr. T. Hirabayasitt, 

 now Assistant Professor in the Engineering College of Tokyo, 

 visited the province of Chiang-hsi,^^ and during his six months 

 stay there made many valuable geological observations. 



In 1002, ^Messrs. T. Wada, T. Ogawa and N. Kaxehara, all 

 geologists, examined the mines of Northern China, especially those 

 of Shan-tuns."^ and Chih-li.''
