DISTRIBUTION OF THE BARÁKARS, 17

The following is the order of succession of rocks in descending

7. Sandstone. | 
The whole of f îs not seen, so that the seam is somewhat thicker 
than 11 feet. I think 13’ to 14 may be assigned as its thickness. 
The sandstone No. 7 is almost the bottom bed of the Barákar group. 
The above section is the last measurable one of No. 6. The seam, 
however, can easily be followed out as far as the bungalow at Rajhéra. 
Beyond that point, there is no trace of it at the surface, but there 
EN be much doubt as to its extension in a westerly direction. The 
e eO seam appears to be as subject to swell at Rajhéra 
as it is in the neighbourhood of Pandáa, and in 
addition, there is evidence of a greater degree of disturbance, especially 
north of the bungalow. At the bend of the river, between the two 
villages called Rajhéra, the rocks have a high dip to the south, and I 
think there is a fault running more or less east and west. This does 
not affect the coal seam, but it shows the course which we may expect 
faults to pursue. 
Combustion of some of the coal has taken place that has converted 
the shale associated with it into a brick red rock which is similar to 
that seen at the burnt out-crop in the nallah .east of Pandtia. Both 
these burnt out-crops, I consider, belong to one seam.
