In the map appended to the ‘Report on the Geology of Trinidad,’ we find the principal Tertiary coal-bearing strata of the Island indicated by a more or less irregular band of dark colour, strectching from Chaguanas, Couva, and Savonetta, on the western or Parian coast, to Manzanilla on the eastern or Atlantic side. To the north of this band lies a sterile region of detrital matter, chiefly siliceous, marked in the map by yellow with res sponts. I wish to draw attention more particularly to that part of this latter formation which lies on the eastern coast between the River Matura and Saline Bay.
