In 1882 the South Carolina, Fish Commission released 166,000 salmon in the waters 
of the State, besides some salmon trout. 
It seems important in this connection to call attention to the numerous lakelets 
or springs in the pine barrens of South Carolina which have no outlets or are believed 
to communicate through fissures in the limestone rock with a subterranean stream or 
lake many miles in extent. The water in these lakelets is of crystalline clearness with 
a depth of 12 to 15 feet, and abounds in all the species of fresh- water fish common to 
the locality, including eels and alewives. Something similar to this is observed in 
Jamaica. 
GEORGIA. 
MOUNTAINS. 
“ The great Appalachian chain forms by lar the leading topographical feature of 
the long line of the Atlantic States. In its relation to this great feature Georgia has 
its entire northern boundary among mountain ranges extending beyond her limits into 
Alabama on the west and South Carolina on the east. Ho peak in Georgia is a mile 
high. Mount Enotah, in Towns County, the highest, being 4,796 feet. The most noted 
mountains are the Eabun Bald, Blood, Tray, Yonah, Grassy, Walker’s, Lookout, and 
the Stone Mountain, the largest mass of solid granite in the world.” 
RIDGES. 
“ The great ridge runs from the St. Lawrence River through the Atlantic States 
to Cape Sable, in Florida. This ridge, of which the culminating points are mountains, 
passes almost centrally through Georgia. It is for three-fourths of its length the long, 
irregular eastern edge of the great Mississippi basin. 
‘‘The second great ridge separates the Mississippi Yalley from the Gulf slope. 
This, the southern edge of the Mississippi basin, also passes through northern Georgia. 
The two ridges meet near tlie corner of Eabun, Towns, and White Counties. 
“At this critical point a man standing with an umbrella in a shower sheds the 
water so that one part reaches the Atlantic near Savannah, a second part the Gulf at 
Apalachicola, while a third enters the Gulf below New Orleans, having passed succes- 
sively through the Hiwassee, the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers.” 
RIVERS. 
“ In Georgia, which partakes of three great slopes, the rivers run in all directions, 
southeast, southwest, west, and north. They run as from the apex of a cone.”
