Ellore-to-Badracliellum spread of Kami,his at a point some twenty-five miles south-west of 
the coal-field helow Badrachellum, and which may he an extension of that field. 
9. To summarise, I think it may be concluded— 
1 That there is a likelihood of coal from the fact that the sandstones of Beddadanole 
are of the Barakar group. 
2 net .—That there is some slight reason for suspecting that the Beddadanole river bed 
conceals coal outcrops. 
3 rd .—There is every expectation of the area, exposed and hidden, of the Barakars 
being at least ten square miles in extent, if not a great deal more, and that it lies in the 
British territory. 
So that, should it be decided to try the field by boring, and I would most earnestly 
recommend this proceeding on account of the above three conclusions, though they be laden 
vdth conjecture, the crucial bore holes ought to be put down near the right or western bank 
of the stream, where they will run to a depth of over 200 feet before the coal-bearing 
strata are pierced. One hore-hole at about half-way down the course of the river within 
the field would be almost sure to strike coal if there he any in the field; though, even if 
this failed, another might he struck down about three-quarters of a mile lurther west, as 
the first hore-hole would only have pierced about half the thickness of the exposed field. 
Details as to the character of the rocks, their lie, and the size and position of the field 
have been already given in the Records of the Geological Survey ot India, Vol. V, 
part 4, 1872.

Notes from a Progress Report on the Geology of parts of the Upper Punjab, by 
A. B. Wynne, f. g. s., Geological Survey of India. 
The first two seasons during which the operations of the Geological Survey were extend¬ 
ed to the Punjab having been devoted to the examination of the Salt-Range, the following 
one was, by order, chiefly spent in rapidly reconnoitering the country surrounding the upper 
plains of the Punjab, both on this side and, as far as possible, trans-Indus, in order to obtain 
a preliminary general knowledge of the complex geological features presented. 
At its close lines of observation were carried through the H azara district, and a closer 
examination was made of the Sir Ban mountain region, close to Abbottabad, which was found 
to afford an epitome of much of the geology of the Upper Punjab (see Memoirs Geological 
Survey, Vol. IX, Art. 3.) 
At the commencement of the succeeding season, that of 1872-73, the detailed working 
of the one-inch maps of the Rawul Pindi district was taken up and carried on with one 
interruption, during which the Salt-Range was again visited, in order to obtain a special col¬ 
lection of its mineral products for the Vienna Exhibition of 1873. 
With the valuable assistance of Dr. Warth, Deputy Collector at the Mayo Mines near 
Pind Dadun Khan, a series of specimens of several maunds in weight was formed and des¬ 
patched to Calcutta. This included a block of rock-salt cut purposely from the mine, about 
two tons in weight ; and amongst the others, a complete series of large specimens illustrating 
the geological structure of the part of the range overlooking Pind Dadun Khan, ; besides
