 Carbo-arenaceous shales 

 Coa? seam (many parts good) 



This seam appears thicker, but it is faulted and causes a deception. 

 Underneath, sandstones occur, and then the section is obscured. 



The section becomes clear where the river for the fourth time falls 

 Both above and below the falls coarse felspathic grits occur. The 

 beds here become much contorted. 



At the bottom of this fall (which is about 200 yards from the 

 Bokaro) a succession of coaly and carbonaceous shales crop out 

 that extend over 800 feet horizontal. 



This area is one in which seams are plentiful, and the quality of 

 many is that of good Barakar coal. The locality is difiicult of 

 access however. One circumstance is favorable, and that is the 

 lowness of the dips. 



Ghatotand. — East of Ghatotand a river shows the southern fault 

 and a seam or two of coal. West of Ghatotand_, the Beessoor-gurha 

 exposes three seams, the one near its mouth is large, and dips southerly. 



Section of BoJcaro (contd.) — The Bokaro where it enters the field 

 exposes a little nose of pebble beds ; then passes exclusively through 

 gneiss, and afterwards re-enters the Barakars west of Foosro. A fault
