112 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY—FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT. 
ARTESIAN WELLS. 
Flowing artesian wells have not been obtained in Holmes county. 
It is quite possible, however, that the formation reached by the wells 
at Graeeville in Jackson county would also give flowing wells in 
the adjoining part of Holmes county.
