is called the Stinktr^g Vein» It iS hard Coal fie for Me* 
chanick ules, but of a fulphurous 6mell. About five 
Fathom and half, fddom more than feven Fathom un- 
der this, lyes another Vein which from certain Lumps 
of Scone mixt with it like a Qafux monnum not Infla*> 
mable, called Cats-head, they ca l the Cathead Vein. 
About the fame Depth under this again lyes ihtThree 
Coal Vein, fo called becaule it's aivided into three dif- 
ferent Coals ; Between the firfl and fecond Coal is a 
Stone of a foot, in fome places two feet thick ; but the 
middle and third Coal feem placed loofe on each other, 
without any feparation of a different viarter. Thefe 
three Veins before- mentioned arc fomeiimes work’d in 
the fame Pit: But the next Vein which 1 am going to 
mention is generally wrought in a feparate Pit ; for tho’

Under this again between five and fix Fathom lies 
the SmitVs Coal Fein, about a >%rd thick; And near

under that a Vein of 10 Inchd^ thick, w'- ich being
