grouped iuto 7 seams in the section given on page 205, are distributed 
through a total thickness of 48 feet of coal and associated rock, and the 
correlation of such a horizon becomes therefore of the greatest import- 
ance. With the other outcrops in the C'hirmiri area 1 can correlate it 
with some confidence, but in the correlation of the Kurasia and Chirmiri 
series with each other there is considerable uncertainty partly because 
the Chirmiri seams appear to be much more disturbed and variable 
in thickness than those of Kurasia, and partly because bad weather 
disturbed the barometer when 1 attempted to effect the correlation. 
However, it seems probable that the Karar Khoh series taken 
as a whole corresponds to horizon 4 of the Kurasia area, and on 
this supposition the following correlation may be advanced, the 
outcrops being arranged geographically from east to west (see 
Appendix 1 for details) : —
