  volume 
  to 
  the

   (this 
  Jour., 
  xxxiii, 
  594), 
  1912, 
  and 
  deals 
  exhaustively 
  with 
  the 
  

   underground 
  water 
  problems 
  of 
  this 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  coastal 
  plain. 
  

   Plenty 
  of 
  water 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  had 
  in 
  this 
  area, 
  and 
  the 
  position 
  and 
  

   character 
  of 
  the 
  Cretaceous, 
  Tertiary 
  and 
  Pleistocene 
  beds 
  are 
  so 
  

   well 
  known 
  that 
  the 
  depth 
  required 
  to 
  secure 
  artesian 
  flows 
  can 
  

   be 
  determined 
  within 
  fairly 
  narrow 
  limits. 
  Following 
  a 
  general 
  

   discussion 
  of 
  principles 
  and 
  recommendations 
  regarding 
  well 
  con- 
  

   struction, 
  sanitation, 
  etc., 
  the 
  ground 
  water 
  conditions 
  in 
  thirty- 
  

   eight 
  counties 
  included 
  within 
  the 
  area 
  are 
  treated 
  in 
  detail, 
  — 
  a 
  

   most 
  commendable 
  feature, 
  since 
  the 
  report 
  is 
  designed 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  

   direct 
  use 
  to 
  farmers 
  and 
  municipalities. 
  The 
  tables 
  of 
  well 
  

   data 
  (pp. 
  29*7-353) 
  furnish 
  a 
  convenient 
  summary. 
  In 
  the 
  opinion 
  

   of 
  the 
  reviewer 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  better 
  expression 
  of 
  the 
  economic 
  

   value 
  of 
  geologic 
  science 
  than 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  the

   issued

  Federal 
  and
