On the evidence of the foregoing analyses, the coal of horizon 
2 is of low grade, but it is possible that some of the coal might 
be considered worth working once railway facilities had been pro- 
vided ; one must remember that outcrop coal is often inferior to the 
fresh coal obtained some distance in from the surface. If it be 
considered desirable to investigate this area further, then in the 
first place the water-courses between Nagar and the more westerly 
exposures should be searched for outcrops, whilst particular attention 
should be given to the western group of exposures, where the 
flatness of the ground would mean but a small expenditure on 
boring. As regards thickness the Balbahara outcrop is particularly 
promising ; it is apparently the 10 foot seam discussed by Hughes 
on page 199 of his memoir, of which he gives the analyses repeated 
below on page 194. Only 7' 3" of this thickness was visible at the 
time of my visit because heavy rain had filled up a hollow at the 
foot of the seam, thus obscuring the lower part. The Balbahara 
analyses given above correspond to very poor coal, but those 
quoted on page 194 indicate much more favourable prospects. 
The exposures indicate the existence of considerable quantities

It is sufficient to say that every square mile of coal-bearing ground 
proved in the Ghutra-Balbahara neighbourhood means on an average
