40 EOKAHO f'OAL-PIELD. 



The whole of the coal in this part of the section is had. Below 

 the junction of the left bank of the Bhagalatta and the left bank of 

 the Chootooa are some sandstones^ after which the Chootooa turns, 

 and the section is partially obscured. It would have been interest- 

 ing to have had the rocks exposed throughout, for observations 

 might then have been made on the combined effect of plication and 

 denudation. 



The 1>eds are bent over to the north, near the end of the last reach 

 but one before it unites with the Bokaroh. Walking southwards they 

 are passed over in descending order, and they ought to correspond to the 

 ones measured above denoted by letters. I have not mentioned that 

 a coal seam occurs north of the sjaiclinal ; it is again seen on the south 

 of it, and measures five feet and two inches.

From No. 13« I obtained a specimen of the genus A&tcrophjlliies. 



This plant is almost typical of Barakars. The ap- 



^'^ ^' pearance of the thick massively bedded sandstones 



near Layeo was rather against their Ijeing rocks of the lower group, but 



the occurrence of pebbles, a specimen. of Adarophjlllies, and an apparently
