forms tlie boundary. This fault is confirmed by the occurrence of a 



warm sulphureous spring that breaks out on the line of shift. The dip 



is at first east ; but coal is not seen until the beds incline to the north- 

 north-west. 



The seam marked seven feet four inches on the map is the lowest 

 in the series. Its details of measurements are, in ascending order.

The bottom portion of this seam presents an admirable case of interca- 

 lation. A very peculiar and well marked bed of sandstone wedg:es 

 it self in, and a portion of the carbonaceous shale is seen under 

 as well as above it. 



The Bokaro does not exhibit anything of interest between this and the 

 Foosro Nullah. 



Foosro Nullah. — A few yards from the boundary, there are slightly 



concretionary carbonaceous shales. About 75 yards from the boundary, 



a seam has been cut into, but is now filled up with sand. At 180 yards 



another seam also filled up. The coal is used in Hazareebagh for brick 



Coal used in Hazaree- burning, and several Natives have taken contracts 



^^ ' to supply the coal. They are now cutting into 



some of the seams, and it is by them that the beds have been worked, and 



then abandoned, when the trouble of holing the coal became too great.
