J6 "The country is a rolling one and in a depression the waters from the spring emerge from the ground 

 forming a basin 100 feet or more across and making quite a considerable stream flowing into Lake George, 

 fresh water, 6 miles away . The water emerges from openings in the rock bottom of the basin with con- 

 siderable force, one " boil " especially resembling a turbulent kettle in action over a hot fire, and the water so 

 deep in several of the "boils " that bottom could not be seen. Here we secured the crabs. We took a sample 

 of the water from the most active "boil" and could hardly class it as salt. I doubt if sodium chloride is 

 present in any quantity. Lake Kerr, about half a mile from Salt Springs, is freJh water". (Edward J 

 Brown.) These specimens have attained a remarkable size, the result perhaps of their unuoual environ- 

 ment. The three specimens in the National Museum are from 8 to 8?4 mches (206 to 223 mm.) in width.
