This completes our statements relative to the wells taken 
on north and south lines. The greatest distance between any 
portion of these lines from east to west is, I believe, 5 miles and 
the greatest distance from north to south, rather more than 11 
miles. 
WELL-WATERS ON EAST AND WEST SECTIONS 
We made, in addition to tliese, one full section and some 
partial sections from east to west. This gives us a number of 
wells betv/een the north and south series already given and ex- 
tends our information relative to the distribution of the nitrates 
in an east and west direction beyond the territory so far de- 
scribed.

We aimed to get these wells in as nearly a straight line as 
]iossible. It was necessary, however, to follow the roads and we 
liad to deviate to the south or north according to where the 
roads were opened. It is very seldom that a ranch house or 
corral is located aAvay from a public road. The maximum de- 
viation of this line of wells from a straight line across the coun- 
try is possibly 2 miles to the south. 
It will be observed that there is an interval of 3% miles 
between the first and second wells given in the preceding table. 
This is because there are no wells there. The dry-land area 
comes down into the eastern part of this Wellington district. 
The table shows that the nitric nitrogen in these walers drops 
to a normal quantity at a point li/o miles east of Wcdlington 
and that there is but one case in the next 51/2 miles in which 
the nitric nitrogen can be considered as high and that is in a
