  SATPURA 
  COAL-BASIN. 
  

  

  north-north-easterly 
  dip 
  is 
  constant 
  on 
  this 
  section. 
  To 
  the 
  west 
  a 
  

   similar 
  interchange 
  takes 
  place. 
  In 
  the 
  Malni 
  stream, 
  close 
  to 
  its 
  

   junction 
  with 
  the 
  Tawa, 
  and 
  exactly 
  in 
  the 
  position 
  of 
  the 
  Bijori 
  car- 
  

   bonaceous 
  band, 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  run 
  of 
  earthy 
  beds, 
  bright 
  red, 
  dull 
  purplish, 
  

   greenish 
  brown, 
  and 
  dark 
  gray 
  micaceous, 
  with 
  plant 
  marks. 
  Still 
  

   further 
  west, 
  the 
  bright 
  red 
  mottled 
  clay 
  is 
  the 
  only 
  earthy 
  rock 
  sub- 
  

   ordinate 
  to 
  the 
  sandstone, 
  at 
  Saikot, 
  Kesla, 
  and 
  Khoda; 
  the 
  north- 
  

   north-westerly 
  dip 
  being 
  steady 
  everywhere. 
  The 
  bright 
  red 
  clay 
  with 
  

   cherty 
  limestone 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  under-cliff 
  of 
  the 
  Moran 
  hills, 
  as 
  about 
  

   Chikwani, 
  may 
  belong 
  to 
  this 
  horizon. 
  

  

  Thus 
  it 
  would 
  seem 
  that 
  the 
  carbonaceous 
  element 
  is 
  almost 
  con- 
  

   fined 
  to 
  the 
  central 
  region 
  of 
  this 
  horizon, 
  where 
  red 
  clays 
  are 
  rare. 
  But 
  

   I 
  nowhere 
  found 
  any 
  coaly 
  matter. 
  The 
  thickness 
  of 
  these 
  deposits 
  

   diminishes 
  greatly 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  central 
  region.
