The top portion of the coal is fairly good, and thus corresponds 
with the character of the Barro Branco seam elsewhere. 
Along the road from Treviso to Belluno, the outcrop of a coal bed is 
frequently visible, especially at the crossing of Rio Fiorita and other 
streams. 
It is most probably the same coal which outcrops at the falls of Rio 
Kuntzer in the village of Belluno where the following succession 
is exposed :

This is the typical structure of the Barro Branco seam, and Nos. 
3 to 5 doubtless represent that bed. 
The thickness of No. 5 could not be measured as it is covered 
by a meter of water in the bed of the stream. 
This coal has been dug into several localities along Rio Fiorita, 
and also near the head of the same on the landof M Lorenzo Burigo. 
In the region of Nova Veneza no outcrops of coal are visible, since a 
great flow of eruptive rock covers the surface and conceals all of the 
clastic sediments. In passing from Nova Veneza to Cresciuma, we 
see gray sandstone in the bed of Rio Maina 4 to 5 kilometers from 
the former village, and they dip southward at the rate of 10° or more. 
About 4 kilometers from Cresciuma, and ona small tributary of 
Rio Mae Luzia, the outcrop of a coal bed occurs on the land of Sr. 
Pirola Luige where it exhibits the following structure ;

This is thestructure ofthe Barro Branco bed. The upper bench, 
n. 1, is fairly good coal, but the lower, n. 3, has several streaks of 
slate and clay.
