30 BOKARO COAL-FIELD. 



Going up from the Damoodah, the first seam of coal dips at about 



25° north by east, and is approximately 30 feet

thick. This is separated from another underneath 



it, by carbonaceous shale and sandstone four feet six inches thick. The 



second seam is 45 feet thick, and dips at a higher angle than the first, 



namely, 30°. Under this the rocks are conglomerates, and coarse 



grained felspathic siliceous sandstones. 



East of Chulkurree the Damoodah section has been already given. 

 West of the mouth of the Foosro Nuddee there are a few seams to 

 notice ; one four feet thick dipping to the south-south-east. This is 

 lower in the series than No. 1 of the Foosro section. Below the four 

 feet seam are two other small ones. Close to the mouth of the Godo, 

 the Foosro dyke and another occur. 



The dips in the western side of the loop nortli of Chulkurree vary 

 a good deal, and the beds are cut out by a fault. The area around 

 Chulkurree is not very clear, being covered by a great deal of alluvium. 

 There appears to be no displacement along the boundary east of the 

 village. 



Near Khetko the Damoodah no longer flows through the field j 

 there is a good deal of faulty country about there. The boundary 

 passes through the village of Khetko ; the strike of the beds being west 

 by north, and the dip 50°. 



The breadth of the field becomes very contracted near the junction 

 of the Koonar with the Damoodah, but on the meridian of Goomeea it 

 swells out to a breadth of four miles and a half. The Barakars are well 

 developed around Hazaree, but very few outcrops of coal are exposed. 



Near Jerungdeeh there are two streams, in the most easterly 



of which four seams are exhibited ; the one

 ness of four feet. Its dip is 15°. At the mouth of the most westerly
