appearence ata locality known as Imbausinho, and there Dr. Cicero 
Campos, assistant engineer of the Commission, reports itas 45 centi- 
meters in thickness, and fairly good coal. He identifies it with the coal 
at Cedro, as also another outcrop of the same bed 12 kilometers farther 
north at Salto Apparado where it is 49 centimeters in thickness. 
The analyses of the coal at Imbausinho and Salto Apparado from 
samples collected by Dr. Campos give the following results as reported 
by prof. B. H. Hite:

2. Sample of coal from Salto Apparado, collected by Dr. Cicero 
Campos. 
In thestate of S. Paulo, hetween Rio Feioand Tatuhy, on a branch 
of Rio d’Onca, a bed of coal only 30 centimeters thick has been exploited 
under a massive, gray sandstone. It most probadly comes at the same 
horizon as the Cedro and Tibagy coals of Parana. It appears to be 
the same thin coal bed which crops in a ravine near Cerquilho
