地质学报第42卷第一期中刊登的缪富恩同志所写的“对南方小型煤矿勘探类型的划分”一文不仅阐明了南方小型煤矿一般地质特征,而且论述了划分煤矿勘探类型的一些原则问题。对这些问题的正确认识是作好煤矿地质勘探工作的关键。因此,有必要引起广大煤田地质工作者的重视,并加以认真讨论研究。在这里我想就文章中涉及到的几个问题谈谈自己的看法,与同志们探讨。 The article “Division of Exploration Types in South Small Coal Mines” by Comrade Miu Fu En published in the first issue of the journal Geology Bulletin 42 not only clarifies the general geological characteristics of the small coal mines in the South, but also discusses some of the principles for the classification of coal exploration types. Correct understanding of these issues is the key to making good geological exploration in coal mines. Therefore, it is necessary to arouse the attention of the geological workers in coalfields and to discuss and study them seriously. Here I would like to talk about my own views on several issues involved in the article and to discuss with my comrades.
