These studies indicate that ~-dsorptlon amd desarption isotherms can be used to predict an outburst condition. A ne~" index L has been developed~ Further studies are under progress to establish that this index can be used as practlc~-I means of i~dicating ~-n outburst condltion, changes in the structur~_l properties of coal, and an approaching ahezr zone. The index does not require testing on site immediately after extracting a sample. The test is simple, easy to carry out, and the L value for a sample can be calculated in less than 20 minutes. It can easily be adc~ted as a routine method of predicting outburst conditions in mines. Avail: CSIRO Division of Applied Geomechanlcs, PO Box 49, Mount Waverley, Vic 3149, Australia

The results are cozpered to tilt derived by ~recise levelling ~ by a current ~redlction method. The electrolevel proved to be highly successful in investigating ground tilt chamges and enabled variations not hitherto appreciated to be ex=Jzined. Subsidence amd angle of draw were investigated and the electrolevel was used to determine when a significant change in ground tilt ccmdition occurred owing to the approach of mining subsidence effects towards surface structtu'es.
