Analyst—J. T. Donap, Montreal. 
These analyses show the coals to be of excellent quality. 
The amounts of ash and sulpher are small, and that of the fixed 
carbon is large. 
These analyses are interesting when compared with a set of 
analyses of the same seams made by me in the year 1881, and I 
believe not hitherto published, and with an analysis of the 
Black seam made by mein the year 1880, and published in the 
Transactions of the North of England Institute of Mining 
Engineers, in a paper on Canadian Coals, giving a full set of 
analyses of Nova Scotia coals, their ashes, ete. 
The analyses made in the year 1881 are as follows :—
