the number of the shaft, the name, and the distance from the month 

 of the pit or adit, to the coal-bed. I made a copy of this table, and 

 transferred the several numbers of reference to the Ordnance Map of 

 Antrim, Sheet 5. I found many of the old pits and adits laid down in 

 their true positions on my map, and I marked a few that were not so, 

 copying from "Williamson's old map. As I do not mean to engrave this 

 map, I have made the following table, by means of which any person 

 interested can lay down the position of any or all of the twenty-six 

 shafts and levels, on a similar sheet of the Antrim map, and thus make 

 a map of the colliery for himself. 



I fixed on Bath Lodge as a well-known object on the shore, and 

 this, with the road passing by it eastward, give sufficient data for the 

 purpose. Thus, to fix the place of the Low Muck shaft, No. 1 9, it is 

 seen by the table that it is 360 perches east of Bath Lodge, and 36 

 perches from the nearest part of the coast-road. Taking the first line 

 as radius, and describing an arch, and the second parallel to the road, 

 the two will intersect each other ; the point of intersection is the posi- 

 tion of the shaft.
