The elevation of the pallor of “ithe Bonito coal at Capoeira is 
276.4 meters. 
‘The upper 61 centimeters of the Bonito bed probably contains 
some coal, but the outcrop is so badly decomposed that it looks like 
shale only. The main portion of the Bonito coal at the Capoeira 
opening has always had a fairly good local rsputation, and is sup- 
posed to contain less of impurities there than elsewhere in the region. 
The thin coal, n. 6, is probably a «split» from the main 
Bonito seam. 
The Borell opening in the Bonito bed is abouth 1/3 kilometer 
distant from Capoeira, in a direction slightly west of south from the 
same. The section there is as follows:
