The Kennedy Seam, as seen at its outcrop, is made up of flue laminse ot varyinb 
purity and lustre, some of the laminse being mere carbonaceous clay, and others good 
coal The coal burns with difficulty, leaving a scarcely diminished bulk of reddish 
shaly ash. It splits readily along the bedding-planes, and at right angles to these 
along numerous joints, and is very friable. It docs not take a polish under the knite, 
but breaks up into minute cubes. The powder is ink-black. Its specific gravity is 
1-463.
