460 PJROCEEDIXGS OF SECTION E. 



Powlett — water, 7-60 ; vol. hydro-carbon, 28-22 ; fix. carb., 

 51-52; ash, 12-65. 



At Cape ]*ater.son the seams outcropping on the beach were — 

 Rock vein, 2ft. 4in. ; quartz veins, 4ft. lin. Borings in the 

 iocality to the north-east disclosed one persistent seam of 2ft. 9in. in 

 No. 2 bore, at depth of 11 5ft. ; seam of 2ft. lOin. in No. 3 bore 

 at depth of 116ft.; and in No. 7 bore cut 1ft. Sin. at 406ft., and 

 1ft. 3in at 585ft. An average of analyses of this coal gave — 

 water, 5-01 ; vol. hydro , 19-81 ; fix. carb., 47-35 ; ash, 28-«. 



At Korumburra, in addition to tlie seam now being worked, 

 of 4ft. in thickness, other seams were cut by boring in the vicinity 

 as follows:— A 3ft. seam at 413ft.; 2ft. 6in seam at 486ft.; 

 4ft. llin. seam at 539ft.; 2ft. 6in. seam at 589ft. Average analysis 

 of this coal gives — water, 5-40 ; vol. hydro , 29-80 ; fix. carb., 

 55-30 ; ash, 5-3. Outcrops occur in surrounding localities, as at 

 Strzelecki, Silkstone. Korumburra, and Jeetlio mines, and are 

 being proved by boring. 



At Jumbunna a seam exposed by outcrop in the creek averages 

 3ft. 6in. : bores put down to test its extension northerly cut the 

 seam at No. 1 bore 374ft. of 4ft. 7in. in thickness, and at No. 2 

 bore, half a mile away, two seams, one of 3ft. 2in. at 1,054ft , and 

 one of -2 ft. 9in. at 1.256ft. Average analysis of the coal gave — 

 water, 3-67 ; vol. hydro., 32-37 ; fix. carb., 60-17 ; ash, 5-66. 



(hUtrim. — An extension of this seam one mile to the west of 

 the outcrop is 4ft. 7in. It has been traced for a mile still further 

 to the Avest round the tw^o hills in the Powlett Valley. 



Berry^ s Creek. — In Tarwin Valley a seam 4ft. thick outcrops in 

 Berry's Creek. Borings to the east disclose continuity of this and 

 apparently other workable seams. In No. 4 bore a seam of 2ft. 

 4in. at 288ft., and another of 3ft. at 665ft. Analysis of this coal 

 gave — water, 3-11; vol. hydro, 27-59; fix. carb., 59*55; ash, 

 9-75. 



Coalville. — At Coalville a seam exjaosed by outcrop in Narracan 

 Creek is being worked ; it varies from 1ft. 6in to 2ft. Average 

 analysis of this coal gave — water, 7-09 ; vol. hydro., 26-23; fix. 

 carb., 57-75; ash, 8-57. 



Hazleivood. — Here a seam 2ft. 6in. thick outcrops in the gully. 

 Borings in the locality to the east cut in No. 5 bore 2ft. 6in. coal 

 at 194ft., 1ft 7in. coal at 418ft., 1ft. 6in. coal at 1,600ft. Analysis 

 gave — water, 12-15; vol. hydro., 20-85; fix. carb., 63-10; ash, 

 5-90. 



This includes the princijial workable seams at present discovered. 

 A number of small seams of coal fi'om lOin. to 1ft. 6in. occur all 

 over the area, as in the heads of the Lang Lang tributaries of the 

 Tarwin, Bass Valley, Foster, &.c., but are not considered of work- 

 able thickness. The whole of the Mesozoic beds have been 

 irregularly puckered up, and fault lines have been produced when 

 the strata was relieved from the strain and tension of the pressure
