CHAPTER VII. 
THE SANHAT COALFIELD. 
As already stated, tliis Held luis aji area ot ulxjiit ."i.'jU square 
miles. The muiierous outcrops of coal discovered 
Corn'latioii of scams. tt i i tt- t i i i ^ i 
by Messrs. Hu^lies and Hira Lai arc tabulated 
in Appeiidi.x II, whilst the details of those examined by me are <^ivcn in 
.\{)peudi.\ I, from which it will be seen that some of them are ex[)osures 
not mentioned by Hughes. As already noted, Hughes did not succeed 
in correlating the various exposures, and it is only with great 
hesitation that I have ventured to correlate those examined by 
me along the southern margin of the field, the data employed being 
general elevation and distance from the Talchir boundary. Only 
by a careful examination of all the intervening nalas could the 
probability of the correlation be maintained or disproved ; and 
certainty can never be attained without boring operations. A 
summary of the correlation shown in Appendix I is given here : —
