KENTISH WELLS AND DEEP BORINGS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD 



OF CANTERBURY. 



By W. Whitaker, B.A., F.R.S., F.G.S.. Assoc. Inst. C.E., F. San. Inst. 



Fro?n a Paper inepared for the S.E. Union Congress atid reported in the S.E, NatzcralisL 



It may be useful to supplement accounts of wells 

 in this district that have already been published 

 by printing such further notes as have come to 

 hand, especially as these latter exceed the former 

 in number. 



The district to be treated of was originally 

 limited to a distance of about 12 miles from the 

 City ; but it is clearly convenient to include, on 

 the east, the strip of coast from Margate to Hythe, 

 and not to be too strictly accurate on the western 

 border, when anything of interest occurs but little 

 beyond. 



In the first place, a list of the well-sections, 

 etc., that have already been printed will be 

 given, with references to the publications in which 

 they can be found ( where possible to the Geological 

 Surrey Memoir, that treats of the district). Two 

 sections that have only appeared in a newspaper 

 are reproduced. 



A similar paper, for the Rochester district, was 

 printed by the Rochester Naturalists' Club in 1901.
