The sections of the lower portion of this seam are essentially the 

 same throughout the whole of the Ghiigus basin, the variations being 

 confined to the upper part, considerable thickening taking place along 

 the strike from north to south. 



The coal area is about 3 square miles. It appears to be more on the 

 map, but the Kamthis overlap the measures near Nokora, for which a 

 deduction must be made. The dips are moderate near the Mayo pit, 

 not exceeding 8°, but lower down the river they increase to 12°. 

 They are not excessive, however, and as we have 

 in the Ghugus field ample coal, dry rocks and 

 little disturbance, there is scarcely a doubt
