Accompanying these specimens were the following found by Captain 

 Ouseley, at the site of the coal discovered by him marked on the map. 

 As this coal was brought to the notice of the Asiatic Society by Lieut. 

 Finnis, in 1829, (see p. 73, and by Captain Coulthard before that time 

 (see As. Res. xvii. 72,) it was not known to whom the discovery was 

 rightly due. We are glad to see therefore that the subject is explained in 

 the following note from Captain Ouseley, to Dr. Spilsbury, which 

 accompanied the above geological notice. — Ed. 



" I am between Jamgurh and Bhoragurh : a beautiful jungle scene. 

 I found the strata in a dry nala, thus : 



From 10 to 4 feet from the surface. 



9 inches, 



6 inches, 

 lj feet, 



6 inches, 



below to the depth of 25 feet, 

 The strata dip to the west about one foot in a yard : I was in hopes of 

 finding it nearly horizontal. I have commenced two shafts, and expect 

 to find the real deposit about five feet below the last coal. The only 

 water is in a fissure of this nala, not good : all jungle and hills around. 

 On referring to my journal, I find I sent specimens of this coal on the 9th 

 March, 1827, to Mr. Maddock, Captain Coulthard, &c. and that I sent 

 two servants with Lieutenant Finnis, a year after, to point out the 

 place. It was upon Weston's mentioning to Captain Coulthard that 

 bits of coal were found occasionally in the Towa, that I sent the man, 

 who traced it up to this place."
