Abstract
Coal has been discovered near the river Gooty, on the east coast of Borneo. It resembles the best cannel coal, and burns readily, leaving a little ferruginous ash. The bed is about three feet thick, and is covered by grey shale and red sandstone. The island of Labuan consists of reefs of coral and beds of soft white sandstone with layers of blue clay. Near the north-east point of the island a bed of coal, six feet or more in thickness, has been discovered in several places. Some of this coal has been used on board the ship, and it is found to burn well and leave very little ash.
