Jengurada, the Sui, the Chilam, and the Gandra Kund and others, of 



which many rise in the Korea district. The only seams of proper size 



crop up near the heads of the Gandra Kund and Chilam streams in 



localities difficult of access, and which it would probably puzzle me to find 



a second time. They measure respectively 5' 4" 

 Seams 5' 4" and 5' 0". ■>,,,-, • 



and 5 0 , and appear to contain good coal. The 



other seams and bands are either petty in dimensions or poor in character ; 



but for those who in future years may have the curiosity to examine 



them, I give a list of the village lands within whose limits they lie —

The next tributary of the Kewai, the Latbura, was incompletely 

 examined, but I am inclined to think that there 



Latbura Nala. 



are no outcrops of carbonaceous matter, as the 

 portions of its channel that I looked at contained no washings of 

 coal. 



North of the Latbura there is nothing seen for about 5 miles, either 

 Pachkura seam re- m the Kewai or other streams, but near Pachkura 

 peated ' is an outcrop of a seam which I believe is repeated 



in the Kokf, and again at Bichia, Chatai, Haswahi, Bhalmari, Pip- 

 ria, and Konwahi, Like the generality of the seams in the neighbour-
