 In following the stream towards its source the same seam of coal 

 is repeatedly seen, the dip continuing northerly, and in one place 

 I detected another small fault with a throw of about 3 feet. 



In the Jumkole stream (the next stream to the west, running into 

 the Seemkole just below its junction with another small stream from the 

 direction of Dongur Parasia village) very shaly coal is again seen 

 dipping very slightly to north-north-west, and a short distance above 

 this the red clays of the Moturs come in, dipping to north-20°-west 

 at 1 8°. 



This Rawanwara seam offers no encouragement for exploration ; 

 it was reported on by Major Ashburner in 1865, by Mr. Blanford in 

 1866, and by Mr. Arthur Sopwith in 1867. 



V. — The other Rawanwara outcrop mentioned by Mr. Blanford 



Another outcrop not I was unable to find ; from his description it is 



found. evidently an inferior seam. 



VI. — In the stream flowing towards the south just to the west of the 



village of Dongur-Parasia (E. Lon. 78°5o') locally 



known as Ghogra Nala, on the left bank of the 



stream, is a hole which has been dug in order to collect water for irri- 



( 28 ) 



Dongur-Parasia.
