Remarks. 



This spring, or springs rather, 



seem to take the place of the 



2nd terrace springs of 1872. 

 This is the most beautiful 



spring in .the basin. 

 This spring lias a coating of 



carbonate of lime. 

 Water oozes from hill and 



spreads out into a pool. 

 Stream of water 5 inches wide, 



1 inch deep, escapes. This 



spring is near the Bath 



Springs. 

 "Water escapes from fissure 



into a basin, 

 iiecoives some water from 



No. 6. 

 Small fissure. 

 This is the main spring that 



supplies the bath houses. 

 Back of the spring is a pool. 



? Two bubbling holes. 



Greenish basin in red-stained 

 deposit. 



This is one of the principal 

 springs, on what was known 

 in 1872 as the 9th terrace. 



White basin with three cen- 

 ters of ebullition. It opens 

 into No. 19. 



White, with yellowish tinge 

 and filaments radiating. 

 There is a fissure in the cen- 

 ter. 



Receives water from 18 and 

 19. Below it are flat, shallow 

 basins. 



There are in reality three 

 pools; thev are 10 feet lower 

 than No.s. 18, 19, and 20. 



This spring is on a mound 12 

 feet above No. 21, and to the 

 right of it. 



This is where the small gey- 

 ser-like springs once were. 



The water spreuds out over a 

 wide space, and sinks in hole 

 about 150 feet distnnt. 



Slight escape of wntev, which 

 spreads out on a flat and dis- 

 appears. 



There is considerable overflow; 

 one hole bubbles spasmodic- 

 ally ; b is temperatnred at 

 the lower end, e in tlio pool. 



This spring, witli L'5 ami ■.;6, 

 are on lowest terrare in lliis 

 secluded basin or depvcssiou. 



This spring is a reiimant of 

 what was not long ago un 

 extensive teiTac(-d sjjring ; 

 whiter empty basins form the 

 fiont. It is on aliij:,her level 

 than 2,5, 20, and 27. 



Thi're are three centers of 

 ebullition. 



"Both on the edge and in the center.
