Bothwell, Kent Co.— In the "Thames Well," which was drilled :n 

 search of oil, a' heavy flow of bitter sulphurous water was struck at a 

 depth of 475 feet, and probably near the base of the Corniferous lime- 

 stone. The water had a natural temperature of 57^" F., and would, in 

 consequence, be slightly thermal, as the region is traversed by the 

 isothermal line of 47° F. The analysis (Report Geological Survey 

 1866, p. 273) showed :
