DAMUDA SERIES: BAEAKAKS. 45 



The river now turns to tlie south and the whole of the rocks arc 

 completely hid, as far as Pindra or Jheerna Nullah, and still further to 

 the west of it above quarter of a mile. Here a seam occurs dipping 

 north-west at an angle of 52°, thickness roughly estimated at 18 feet. 



About 300 yards west of this the upper portion of the group is 

 remarkably well seen, and indeed it is the best section for illustrating 

 the nature of the upper Barakars. 



The course of the stream is from east to west, and we have in 

 ascending order — 



1. Coal 



2. Argillaceous and carbonaceous shale

Ironstone shale series. 

 The passage of Barakars into ironstones is very distinct here. 



Returning eastwards to the sections which have not yet been noticed 



south of the Bokaro, the first to remark upon is that of the Bugjobra. 



Bugjohra Nuddee. — This river flows east of Teelaya, and exposes 



the southern boundary. The bottom bed is an incipient conglomerate ; 



above it come sandstones and shales. The former are not so massively 



bedded, as they usually are at the base.
