A little north of this we have the boundary very slightly faulted. 

 The bottom rocks are sandstones containing many pebbles and boulders. 



The dyke is again seen in the nullah passing west of Dhunneeya. 

 The jnclination of the beds in the river is very high_, 50° to 62°. Only 

 one seam of coal is visible in it. 



One of the very best sections of the Barakars in the whole field 



is met with in the Bhagalatta; there appears to

be no break in the succession of the beds exposed 

 between the synclinal, which will be referred to in the Chootooa section^ 

 and the north boundary of the field, so that I am justified in mapping 

 the country as Barakars. There is a resemblance, howeverj in the rocks 

 of the Chootooa to those of the Banigunj group, but if no break can 

 be shown between them and those in the Bhagalatta (which are unques- 

 tionably Barakars), the similarity must be granted to be accidental only.
