THE HARM FIELD. 33 



In a stream, locally known as the Ghogra, to the south-east of the 

 1 deserted portion of the village {i.e., the south-east portion, which was 

 I formerly the larger, but has been deserted in favour of the north-west 



portion in consequence of want of water), there is an exposure of 



coal (also mentioned by Mr. Blanford) : —

 t ■ It is badly exposed and the coal of a very soft quality, the dip is 

 not seen.

 lage of Ekleyra, which was excavated many

years ago in the Motur rocks ; this is probably 



the same shale as is seen in the stream to the east of the village. 



§10 . — Th e Ha ra i Field. 



This is a small and unimportant area thrown down by the Pench 

 fault and only occupying an area of less than one-third of a square 

 mile. It is interesting on account of its being the most easterly case 

 where we find the Barakars resting on the Talchirs, which terminate 

 the field to the south, while to the north it is bounded by the Motur 

 rocks. To the east and west it is overlaid by trap. 



In the stream formed by the junction of the Bhandaria and Don- 



, , . gur-Parasia streams, just at the point where the

village lands of Dongur-Parasia, Khursadeye, 



and Khumra meet, there is a band of highly carbonaceous shale very 

 much disturbed, but further down the stream the dip of the Barakar 

 sandstone is only a few degrees to north-west. 



Below the small stream flowing from the east of Dongur-Parasia 

 a trap dyke crosses the stream beyond which shale with a northerly 

 dip is exposed. 



XIII.— Harai (Hurreye) : Mr. Blanford mentions a seam, said to have 

 Shale in a well at been found in a well at this village. I found three 

 wells here. An old one to the north-east of
