This paper is published as "Bulletin" 

 No. 32 of the United States Geological Sur- 

 vey. The author's first effort was to ob- 

 tain a list of the springs. All previously 

 existing lists were found to be incomplete. 

 The fullest one — that of a committee of the 

 American Medical Association, referred to 

 as " Pepper's List " — gave about 500 locali- 

 ties of springs. Others described, respect- 

 ively, 171, 181, and 173 localities. The 

 present lists include 2,822 localities, more 

 than 600 of which are places of resort, and 

 more than 200 sell the waters. Yet they 

 are not regarded as complete, but only as 

 preliminary to more detailed work which it 

 is hoped may follow in the future. The 

 information has been derived primarily 

 from State geological reports and maps, 

 various scientific publications, and mem- 

 bers of the Geological Survey who have 

 had opportunities of visiting different parts 

 of the country. The results of analyses are 

 given, where analyses have been made.
