For 300 yards from the last seam the river is very much obscured ; 

 then we come to a bed of stony coal ; and the only reason I notice it 

 is because it has been cut into, and because it is near Foosro, and serves 

 as an index of position. 



It crops ont for 20O yards along* the face of the river. Its dip is 

 east 8° and thickness three feet and eight inches. Below it is carbonace- 

 ous shale. This coal is only fit for the purpose for which it is employed, 

 namely, brick burning*. 



The section then becomes— 



1. Highly arenaceous sandstones, yery fine grained 



2. Carbonaceous shales ... 



3. Coal (being cut into, 1866). Dip 6° to 10° ... 



4. Wliite felspathic sandstone

The above coal changes in Its strike, and then dips south-west. It is 

 worked on both sides of the river.

Eeddish, variegated, coarse grained felspathic sandstones.^ — It is 

 reversed and dips north-north-west 20°. This sandstone holds 

 steadily as far as the Kujree or Gujree Nuddee, 



Kiijree Nullah. — The section of this river is imperfect. The 

 boundary is about 15 yards north of the Tapin and Churhee Road. 

 Proceeding down the river, a very stony coal has been cut into, but 

 was abandoned quickly^ on account of its, bad quality. The beds
