This report gives results of a detailed study of the coal reserves in Kansas; it includes data on the proved and potential reserves by beds and by counties of all bituminous coal beds in the state. Brief descriptions of coal-bearing groups of rocks with their interbedded coals are given as well as a short description of methods used in calculating the reserves. The proved coal reserves in Kansas are about 949,323,000 tons. The state's potential coal reserves are about 17,574,000,000 tons.
