Extract

As a result of recent work on the correlation of the Coal Measures in the various British coalfields it is now possible to determine the relative ages of the chief productive measures in the different areas. Some aspects of this work were summarized in 1933 but much further work has been done since that time, especially with reference to the Scottish coalfields (Weir and Leitch, 1936). The results of these investigations may be expected to throw considerable light on the physiography and other factors controlling the deposition of the Upper Carboniferous rocks, but in the present note attention is drawn only to the zonal distribution of the more important coals in various British coalfields.
