48 JONES : SOUTHERN COAL-FIELDS OF SATPURA GONDWANA BASIN, 



stones are slightly calcareous, but not by any means to the same 

 extent as the clays. 



At the eastern end, where the clays are in great force, the line of 

 demarcation between the Barakars and the Moturs is well defined 

 where seen. 



In the Dighawani stream the Barakars are exposed at intervals, 



Motor Barakar boun- while close ty to the north in th e Teorakole, 

 dary - Seemkole, and Jumkole streams, the red clays 



are exposed for a short distance before being covered by the trap. 

 The boundary is again exposed beyond Dongur-Parasia and extends 

 westwards north of Chandameta village, passing then north-west by 

 Bhajipani ; it is well exposed in the small streams which it crosses. 

 In the stream running from Barkoi to the east of Ekleyra, there are 

 some Barakar shales, to the north-east of the village of Ekleyra, 

 which are found again to the west of the village in a well made through 

 the Moturs ; above them is sandstone for a short distance and then 

 red clays, w T hile in the small stream which passes to the west of the 

 village, the red clays and sandstones of the Moturs extend the whole 

 way from the commencement of the stream to its junction with the 

 larger one into which it runs, thus coming right across the strike of 

 the Barakar beds, and suggesting the possibility of overlap. 



The passage from Barakars to Moturs is also sharp along the 

 boundary from near Umbara just north of the Hingladevi field, to be- 

 yond Jumkonda, at the western end of the same field. 



Going down the Raneedoh stream from Oomeria, between Jamye 

 and Pala-Chowrye, towards theTakea river, the Motur clays are exposed, 

 for some distance, and then the beds become much broken and im- 

 pregnated with silica, which forms a rib of quartzose rock 2 feet wide, 

 running across the stream, beyond which the Talchir boulder bed is 

 seen faulted right against the Moturs. 



It is evident that we have at this point a faulted boundary, and 



the fault is the continuation of the one running

through Saleye hill and seen in the Soonkee 



(locally Takea) river.
