The first three bores have been chosen for description 

 because they indicate the rapid alteration that occurs over 

 comparatively short distances. The fourth bore has been 

 selected because it is a typical example of the composition 

 of the lignitic or brown coal series. 



The Bores A, B, and C are in a straight line, north and 

 south, 1,910 yards east from the boundary between the 

 Hundreds of Sherlock and Seymour. The most northerly 

 of these, viz., Bore A, is about 2,830 yards south from the 

 Hundred of Hooper. The distance between this and Bore B 

 is' 750 yards; the distance between Bores B and C is 300 

 yards. These three together, with Bore D (a Government 

 bore), are representative of 93 bores on the area considered.
