12 ball: geology of aurunga and hutar coal fields. 



where coal occurs in parganah Toree are also marked on his maps. 

 The coal of the Amanut and Damuda is alluded to. 



The area occupied by the coalfields is roughly estimated at 1,500 

 square miles. Including the Karanpura fields, this is about double the 

 actual area, but was no doubt arrived at by supposing that the most 

 remote localities formed part of one connected area. An account of 

 some hot springs in Hazaribagh is also given by Captain Samuells. 



Some papers which have been printed by the Public Works Depart- 

 Memoirs on Branch ^^nt, in connection with the proposed branch line 

 Liae by P. W. D. ^f railway, contain a resume of the information on 



the coal fields which is given in some o£ the reports above quoted. As 

 these documents I believe have not been published, they are not suscep- 

 tible of criticism here. But what has been said on the previous pages will 

 shew the value of some of the statements which have been thus 

 reproduced.
