made as constitute a part of the regularly planned operations of 
the Survey. 
SAMPLES SENT TO THE SURVEY FOR EXAMINATION. 
Samples of rocks, minerals and fossils will be at all times gladly 
received, and reported upon. Attention to inquiries and general 
correspondence are a part of the duties of the office, and afford 
a means through which the Survey may in many ways be useful 
to the citizens of the State. 
The following suggestions are offered for the guidance of those 
submitting samples: 
1. The exact location of all samples should be given. This 
should be carefully written out in full and placed on the inside of 
the package. 
2. The statement accompanying the samples should give the 
conditions under which the specimen occurs, whether an isolated 
fragment or part of a larger mass or deposit. 
3. Each package should be addressed to the Florida State 
Geological Survey, Tallahassee. The name and address of the 
sender should be plainly written on the outside. 
4. Transportation charges, whether by mail, express or freight, 
should in all cases be prepaid.

information is helpful, both to the industries concerned and to the 
general public. Such statistical information is desired from all the 
mineral industries of the State. Such information will be recog¬ 
nized as strictly confidential, in so far as it relates to the private 
business of any individual or company, and will be used only in 
making up State- and County totals. The co-operation of the vari¬ 
ous industries of the State is invited in order that the best possible 
showing of the State’s products may be made annually.
