The seam VIII (Jambad Bowlah) of the Raniganj coalfield, Bihar, sampled at Bankola, Sunkerpore, Jambad Kajora and East Jambad collieries in the eastern sector has been studied sporologically in detail. The distribution of the various spore genera and species represented in the seam has been given sample-wise. A comparison of the miospore assemblages, both qualitative as well as quantitative, from these samples shows a remarkable similarity thereby proving that the seam at the above collieries is one and the same. The homogeneity of the four collieries has also been proved statistically by the use of Chi-square test. These results are confirmatory to the geological correlation.
