It will be 
noticed 
that 90 per cent. 
of the output is 
produced 
in the Bengal (Bihar and Orissa) fields. Owing to the wide extent 
of the latter, the fair quality of coal which they contain and 
their comparative nearness to the sea-coast, this proportion is not 
likely to decrease in the near future.
