LOWER GROUP. 



The Lower Group is near the upper margin of the swampy valley and 

 consists of two subgroups. The first includes springs Nos. 1 to 30, and is 

 on the left bank of creek on a wide flat which rises gently as the creek 

 is left. The springs of this subgroup are partly on hard deposit and 

 l)artly on marshy ground. Only a few of the springs on the map are 

 numbered, for the same reason that prevented the numbering of the 

 springs in the Middle Group. The second subgroup contains a large 

 number of springs on a small branch which joins the creek from the 

 south or riglit side. The springs extend back as far as the base of the 

 liills. Only a few were visited, as the numbering on the map indicates. 

 The surface about most of them is marshy, and a number are merely 

 oozing holes in the marsh. Ko. 23 is the handsomest spring in the col- 

 lection. It is a transparent, blue pool, with an ornamental raised rim 

 and two outlets. It is an intermittent spring. 



The springs of the Lower Group do not deserve any extended de- 

 scription, and the accompanying table will present all the facts that are 

 of interest in connection with the springs.
