DAMUDA SERIES : BARAKAKS. 27 



Before describing the area west of the Koonar^ it will be better to 

 give the sections of the Damoodah, as that river does not expose any of 

 the coal measures west of the village of Khetko. 



DamoodaJi. — The lowest bed in the Damoodah is seen in the bend 



of the stream due north of Pichree, and the section in ascending series 



is —

This seam occurs 130 yards east of the mouth of the Bhuskee 

 Jooreea. Its dip is higher on the right side of the river than 

 on the left. 



Some additional seams are exposed, but they are inclined at angles 

 which render them quite useless. Even those given in the 

 section dip too high. The enormous bed No. 6 is of very 

 poor quality ; it is cut through by the Pichree dyke.
