This line of wells is 2 miles west of those previously given 
at its nortlieni end and 3 miles west of those for 3 or 4 miles at 
its sontherii end. We have again a great variation but for the 
most part it is only moderate compared with the former line. 
Nothing has heretofore been given in regard to what uses 
these well-waters are put. The greater part of them by far is 
used for watering stock, though a few of them are used for 
domestic purposes. This applies to all of the wells that have 
been or shall be given. 
On the next road west of Wellington only a few samples 
were taken because it was clearly evident from our preliminary 
work, as well as from the results obtained subsequently, that at 
this time at least nothing would be gained by doing so. 
A few samples given below are from the section near Well- 
ington for a distance of about 6 miles. The road itself runs 
immediately west of the town.
