The remaining sections obtained along the east face north from section No. 110 above given continue to hold coal of a uniform thickness to those already given on western slope. The coal, as may be observed from the sections above given, holds a considerable thickness to the north end of the area T.13, while upon going south along the west face the coal thins, with lessening indications showing in grits and coal, this being attributable to the existence of a slate belt noticeable under the measures, near station T.13, which upon going south along face lessens the measures, till, reaching well south of the area, it ultimately breaks through same entirely. The surface throughout this part is comparatively flat and destitute of soil, showing grits holding numerous back breaks in stone, and in some places the grits much broken. The coal is of a soft and friable description, and, as far as I can judge, would be a coal highly suitable for steam purposes.
