be unwatered and worked by adits or drifts driven from the moun- 

 tain-side. 



The result of my exploration has been the confirmation of the 

 reported existence of a large area of coal-bearing strata, the details 

 of which, I trust, will be not only interesting to the Fellows of this 

 Society, but be placed upon record for future reference when the 

 geology of these interesting islands may be studied by others far 

 more able to deal with the subject than the author of this paper.

 the mountain-peaks.
