42 BOKARO COAL-FIELD. 



Three stony seams crop out in a dry water 

 course west of Dooroo. They are of small size. 



Two streams south of Bussutpoor flow into the Chootooa on its right 

 bank. In the most easterly of them a seam 15 feet is visible. In the 

 westerly one only a portion of the seam is seen (three feet). This seam 

 dips south-south-east. About 20 yards north of it, we have Carbonaceous 

 shales dipping to the north. This cii-cumstance is one of the best proofs 

 of the fault between the Barakars and carbonaceous shales. 



South of Kheddakj there is a toleh of the village called Jheerna ; 

 north of this village an outcrop or two of coal is seen. 



West of Jheerna also there is coal, and a very fair section is exhi- 

 bited by the Jheerna Nuddee. 



East of Ghatotand coal occurs, having a very small dip. All 

 these seams, however, are out of the way, and as the ground is hilly, 

 the coal could not easily be carted. 



"West of Ghatotand, in the Beessoor Gurha, there are three seams, 

 of which I can give no opinion. 



In the area included between the Bokaro and Chootooa there is 

 now only the section of the Jheerna Nuddee, which has not been given. 

 Before mentioning it, however, I will bring up the section of the Bokaro 

 to the point where the Jheerna Nuddee falls into it. 



West of the Chootooa, the first coal is visible due north of Teelaya. 

 It is thrown by a fault heading north -north -west. 

 The measurement of the seam east of the fault is —
