. The burnt coals (a), at 72 feet 1 inch, 185 feet, 306 feet 6 inches, and 307 feet 
s inches, were represented by a hard, heavy, earthy coke, full of pyrites and vertical 
, of carbonate of lime. This coke decrepitates and flies off a charcoal fire. It 
Os a dull-black stone after being heated to redness. 
^ Tjie burnt coal (i) at 188 feet 2 inches was represented only by drillings and 
Pyri Trom the drillings it appeared to bo partly a slaty coal and partly a dark 
®^iale with coaly films. The bottom of the seam had an irregular and typically 
*'fisivo junction with the “white trap,” a.s in PI. 51, fig. 1. 
g^p The coal-seam (c) at 192 foot 9 inches was only represented by the drillings, and 
from them to be a seam of alternate good coal and shale. The drillings 
fairly well in the forge. 
intr • bottom of the coaly seam {d), struck at 286 feet 3 inches, was penetrated by 
bsive “white trap.”
