COAL. 



55 



With the exception of the coals from Sirgora and between Datla 

 and Badee none of these results can in any way be termed favourable, 

 but the specimens, with the exception of the one from Sirgora, were from 

 the outcrop, and it is probable that the nature of the coal will improve 

 to the dip ; it might be desirable that borings should be carried out 

 in order to test the quality of the coal lower down, and its thickness. 



The following table gives the thickness of coal in the various out- 

 crops. A portion of it is taken from the list at the end of Mr. Blan- 

 ford's report. 



The Roman numerals refer to those incorporated in the text.
