Fault west-nortt-west, — east-soutt-east. 



The total thickness of the coal seams is 159' 3". 



Many of them yield good fuel, and they are conveniently situated 

 with regard to the ironstone shales. 



The coal elsewhere in the field, is not exposed as abundantly as in 

 the Jainagar river, and its existence must he actually determined by 

 borings. Arguing from proved geological conditions, it is with very 

 little hesitation I should assert the existence of coal over the greater 

 portion of the Barakar area. 



The remaining outcrops of coal met with by me were— 



2 out-crops in tte Kurse river. 

 1 out-crop in tte Saiiland river. 

 1 out-crop in tte Hendigir river. 



3 out-crops in tte Potanga river.
