HEPORT UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SUEVET, 



ipoint of wMtcfe did we see slight indications of •warm' springs. Tirer© was, toweTer, 

 ^n .abundant flow of cold springs, fully equal in volume to that of tSse hot springs of 

 JEabbit iBnaocch. As no difference was noticed in tbe rocks of the two hollows^ w© 

 ■could refer itkeir difference in form of erosiou only to the solvent power of the hot 

 waters.* 



I have ifflcluded these spring's in the Lower Basin althongfe tbey are 

 separated ifroin it by a ridge of timbered hills and are not shown on the 

 map. Still they belong with the Lower Basin rather thaB the Upper^ and 

 this seems to be the best place for their descrip.tion.

This table just given of course does not giv© all the springs,, but is 

 approximate, representing all the springs actually examined, and the 

 most of tiio«e are actually shown on the map of the Lower Geyser Basin. 



The following is a list of the geysers of the Lower Basin with the 

 inter%^als and heights as far as known. The Upper Bas.in has. always 

 presented such attractions to the visitor and tiae various groups are so 

 isolated from each other that these observatiou&isith© Lower Basiia are 

 inot as complete as is desirable :
