POSTSCEIPT. 



Since the above was written, a series of new analyses of Malvern 

 Hill Coal has been made at the Colonial Laboratory, by Mr. S. H. 

 Cox, F.C.S., containing several specimens from collieries not included 

 in the former Schedule. Being, therefore, of interest to the public, I 

 have added it to this Chapter.
