DAMUDA SERIES : BARAKAKS. 37 



Bussutpoor, a fault occurs between the Barakars and Ironstones. This is 

 one of the instances in which the existence of springs confirmed the 

 decision which I had ah-eady formed as to the presence of a fault. Re- 

 garding this fault there can be no doubt, and the only regret I have to 

 express is that others in the vicinity are not so clear. The fault was first 

 suggested by finding that the middle and lower groups were brought into 

 contact with each other, the former possessing a dip of 25° to the north by 

 east, whilst the latter dipped to the south at an angle of 35°, No anticlinaL 

 or synclinal could explain such a relation, and there was no help for it, 

 but to bring in a fault. As confirmation, the discovery of the sprino-s 

 was most fortunate.

is 9° north-west. It is a little over a foot in thick- 

 ness. The real section of the Chootooa commences first at the bend of 

 the river, where it is joined by the stream coming from Kheddala. The 

 measurements were chiefly made of the beds east of the powerful 

 dyke which crosses the stream nearly due south of Rayhaon. A bed of 

 good coal six and a half inches thick occurs along the right bank dipping 

 north-north-east 13°. It has above it stony coal one foot seven and half 

 inches. Below it come —
