DAMUDA SERIES: BARAKARS. 43 



Ft. In. 

 A dyke appears west of the fiiult, and then the section is pretty 

 clear. 



1. For the first 100 yards beds obscure. 



2. Coal seam (indistinct) a few feet. 



3. Coal (good). Dip 70° 



4. Micaceo-felspathic sandstone 



5. Coalseam. 



6. Carbonaceous shale ... 



7. Micaceous sandstone and carbo-argillaceous shales; some of the 



latter become coaly shale owing to thin layers of coal 



8. Coalse&va. 



Three hundred yards, then river turns, and section is broken. 

 Another reach of the river exposes beds higher in the section. Dip is 



west instead of south.

A lai'ge seam at the mouth of the Juggaysur nullah occurs under- 

 neath {a). It is not well seen on account of the sand and water 

 in the Bokaro.

 Thirty yards up the river the beds become horizontal ; then 

 they dip again to the west, and we get—

These beds become crushed, and nothing is distinctly seen. One 

 hundred and thirty yards up the river, the intermediate beds being prin- 

 cipally sandstone, a large seam of coal occurs, the bottom portion of 

 which is of excellent quality. Its dip varies from 11° to 17°. The coal 

 of this seam burns excellently, and is very much superior to any in the 



neighbourhood, excepting a seam which crops out 

 Coal near Gosee. ^ ^ J i & x 



in the Gosee and Layeo Road, which is the best 



in the field, as far as I am aware of. The seam at the mouth of the 



Juggaysur nullah is probably the continuation of this one,
