North-westward of Sy<lney, the Coal measures extend to tlie Little Hras d'Or. and across the east end of JJouIardarie Island ; but tiiis part of the district docs not appear to bo productive at ))rcscnt, though without doul)t rich in coal. To the south-east of Sydney the Coal measures extend in a series of anticlinal and synclinal bends to Mire Bay and Cutalogne, and are extensively worked, though, from facts to be noted in the sequel, it will appear that their maximum produc- tiveness is still very far from being reached. The sketch map (Fig. 158) will show the general nrrangcment of the measures, as far as ascertained, and tlic localities of the principal mines. When the first edition of this work Avas published, little was known of the extension of the Coal measures along the coast of Caj)e Breton from Sydney to Mire, except the mere fact of the extension of the Coal formation rocks, and the occurrence in them of some workable beds, to which, however, little attention had been given; partly in consequence of the monopoly of the General Alining Association, and partly in consc([uence of the absence of facilities for the shipment of coal. Within the last few years, however, the whole coast has been explored by mining surveyors, and fourteen
