IV.—DaupÁ SERIES. 
Barákar Group.—The rocks of the lower group are the only repre- 
sentatives of this series. 
There are but two sections in which coal is exposed, one in the 
Mohani river, and the other in a tributary of it, that flows between the 
villages of Daswant and Bargárha. 
Mohani Section.—At the contact of the Talchirs and Barákars in 
the Mohani, the dip of the Barákars is as much as 70°. There is also 
a small fault running east and west.

3. Sandstones curving along their outcrop, and dip- 
ping finally to the east. 
The next section—in the tributary of the Mohani—exposes two 
seams dipping at an angle of 10° to 11° east. The coal at the outcrop 
is light and papery, with compressed stems of plants in it. 
I could not determine the actual thickness of either seam, but 
the bottom one appears to be about 4 feet. 
Both these beds are higher in the series than the No. 2 coal seam 
of the Mohani Section. 
V.—Economic SUMMARY. 
Coal.—The best of the three seams of coal which this field contains 
is the 4 feet bed of the section in the small stream. But none of the 
coals are worth working for any other purpose than for rough work. The 
average coals would, I consider, contain more than 30 per cent. of ash,
