86 Griffith Taylor: Water- Divining. 



" It is difficult to see how for practical purposes the entire 

 matter could be more thoroughly discredited. To all enquiries 

 the U.S. Geological Survey gives the advice not to expend any 

 money for the services of any ' water witch,' or for the use or 

 purchase of any machine or instrument for locating underground 

 water." 



I have to thank the Federal Surveyor-General for the loan of 

 the two maps, prepared partly from my own sketch maps.
