DISTRIBUTION OF THE BARÁKARS. 15 
of a fault, nor notieed any special disturbance in the rocks, the more 
rational explanation appears to be that of overlap; as being consistent 
with the view formed of the conditions under which the bottom beds 
of the Barákars were deposited. 
The remaining subtributaries in which coal is seen flow between 
the villages of Lohra and Pandda. There are minor beds of coal, but 
there is one principal seam which occurs in them all, and is that which 
to some extent was formerly worked by the Bengal Coal Company. 
The sections visible, as might be expected from the experience gained 
of other seams, do not correspond to each other, and it is only the 
horizon at which they occur that gives some reason for supposing 
them to be those of the same seam. 
The rocks undulate very much and rise up often in swelling bosses, 
producing a repetition of beds and irregularity in their line of out-crops. 
In working the large seam this occurrence of bosses will cause great 
inconvenience, and will be likely to throw a miner out in his calculations 
regarding the lie and position of the coal. 
This seam is only represented by black mud in the banks of the 
first nallah west of Lohra, but in the next 
Pandiía seam. à Mec ‘ 
(nallah) there is a more distinct section. The 
following measurements were made, where the rocks happen to be 
clearly exposed with a northerly dip of 6°. But as I said before, there 
is considerable undulation of the strata in this locality, and, therefore, 
the direction is not constant for more than short distances :—
