ADiAIINISTRATIVE REPORT. 

 Herman Gunter, State Geologist. ,, 



INTRODUCTION. 



The act establishing the Florida State Geological Survey was 

 passed by the Legislature of 1907, being approved on June 3rd 

 of that year. Among other provisions of the law is one requiring 

 the State Geologist to make annually to the Governor a report 

 of the progress made by the Survey. Since its establishment the 

 following reports have been issued, the subjects treated being in- 

 dicated by the titles of the separate papers listed under each an- 

 nual report which make up the whole volume. 



Those annual reports followed by an asterisk (*) are no longer 

 available for distribution as a whole volume, owing to exhaustion 

 of supply. It is frequently the case, however, that although the 

 report as a whole is not available some of the separate papers 

 making up the volume may be obtained. When this is the case 

 such separates making up the respective annual reports as are still 

 available are indicated by the dagger sign (f).
