DAMUDA SERIES : BARAKAUS. 13 



Bussutpooi'j the Raniganjs are in contact with the gneiss, and Talchirs 

 occur outside, or north of, the faulted junction. East of Eussutpoor, 

 the boundary is natural for a short way, and the Barakars are found along 

 the border. Close to Puchmo, the fault once more sets in, and holds 

 steadily as far as Goomeea ; beyond this village the boundary is the result 

 of simple denudation. 



Eastern loundary. — The eastern limit of the field is only faulted 

 near Tooreeo. North of this little hamlet, the Barakars and Talchirs 

 have not been disturbed. 



Qoal in BardJcar group. — There is nothing peculiar in the distribution 

 of the Barakars, which requires to be specially noted ; and I shall there- 

 fore proceed to describe the coal seams of the group in the order in which 

 they occur, commencing in the east of the field. 



J\^. of Damoodali. — Confining details for the present to the north 



side of the Damoodah, the first river exhibiting coal distinctly is the 



Teesrah Nuddee. The seam is better seen in a 



small tributary; it dips at an angle of 10° to 



the S. S. W. The large trap dyke, marked on the map as passing east 



of Pichree, injures this coal. 



The country enclosed between the above stream and the Bhuskee 

 Joor is broken and exceedingly junffly, and the 



. Bhuskee Joor. fc> ./ J & JJ 



beds are not always to be seen. 



A burnt seam occurs within the limits of the Mukoolee surlmd. 



The dip is reversed in one place, being north-east. 

 Coal near Miikoolee, . . 



mstead of possessmg the usual southerly lie. The 

 road from Chepree to Mukoolee crosses a river in which an inferior coal 

 is exhibited, not exceeding two feet in thickness. 



A small dyke, heading E. S. E.— W. N. W. 



Dvke. 



but not traceable for more than 20 and 30 yards, 



occurs near the place where the reversal in dip is visible.
