COAL,. 
The coal trade in India is daily beeoming of greater 
imnortance. The amount raised had mcreased be- 
tween the years 1858 and 1868 from 220,082 tons to 
484 642 tons, or considerably more than doublecl. 
The mines are gradually being extended and worked 
in a better manner tban formerly, and the coal is 
sent to market in a better state. The series of 
specimens exhibited contains examples of almost 
every variety of coal now in use.
