This denotes a section of the seam of coal 5 feet 6 inches in 
thickness (See section lettered J, section No. 16), formerly belong- 
ing to Campbell Mitchell, Esq., and now to His Honor Mr. Justice 
Hargraves, at Coal Cliff, in the County of Cumberland, and ad- 
joins the extensive selections of Messrs. Alexander Stuart and 
Company. It is a semi-bituminous coal, specific gravity about 1’3, 
has a slight dip to the north-east, an excellent roof and floor, 
would bear carriage Avell, and is a good steam, smelting, and house- 
hold coal. It lies about 40 feet above the sea level, and in close 
proximity to a proposed dock and the projected South Coast Eail- 
Avay, which has been surveyed through the property and will pass 
close by the entrance to the mine. 
This represents a section of the seam of coal worked at the 
Bulli Colliery, near Wollongong, in the county of Camden, 
situated about 40 miles south of Port Jackson. It averages 
about S feet in thickness of clean coal, without any bands in it ; 
the average sjieciiic gravity is about 1'3 ; it has an excellent 
rock roof and floor ; and the dip is about 1 in 30 to the north- 
west. 
It is a semi-bituminous coal, suitable for steam, household, 
smelting, blacksmith, and other purposes, and is by many captains 
of vessels used in preference to the more bituminous coal of the 
Newcastle District, and being a stronger coal the firebars have to 
be put further apart when using it. 
This is the No. 1 or uppermost seam of coal in the district (see 
letter 11 on plan No. 5 and section No. 14), and is found outcropping
