NAZIRA FIELD. 60 



On the right bank of the Dikhu^ about 500 yards above Tel Pung, 

 there is a seam of coal which was being quarried last cold weather for the 

 Assam Tea Company. The section is given at page 25j the dip being east- 

 20°-south at 65.° Two hundred yards north of this point the seam crops out 

 again, dipping east at 35°. Here, owing to its striking obliquely to the 

 slope of the hill, it is 230 feet above the Dikhu. One hundred yards 

 further north, on the Kongan-Namsang path, it is also exposed, and 

 again, less completely, in a stream 30 yards beyond. Here the dip is 

 east-20°-south at 25°; elevation above Tel Pung 230 feet, or say 350 

 feet above the plains. The seam was formerly quarried close to the 

 path. The coal is of the hard kind, and averages about four feet in 

 thickness (m). 



In the above-mentioned stream there are two or three other outcrops 

 {vide section, p. 21), and several on the Kongan path above Tel 

 Pung, but none of these are of any importance. There is also a worth- 

 less seam in the Dikhu itself close to the oil-spring. 



In the first nalla below Tel Pung we find : —
