Reporting on this plan, Jer: Bock, late Com- misioner for the Datch Government, save:-

But if we are ignorant of the coal resoarens of India it is nothing to the ignorance which prevails outside Australia as to thegame resonzas in this continent. Just before I left Australia in 1893, the Government of Queensland published a pamphlet written by me on the coal resenross of that eclony. I had visited, I may say, all the onal mines and most of the asst deposits in the wide extent of Australia; that is to say, all the eest deposits that were known, which probably
