FLORIDA STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 
The Underground Water Supply of Central Florida, Bulletin 
No. 1; The Artesian Water Supply of Eastern Florida, Third 
Annual Report; The Underground Water Supply of West-Cen¬ 
tral and West Florida, Fourth Annual Report; The Artesian 
Water Supply of Southern Florida, Fifth Annual Report. 
V. The Soils. A general report on the soils of the State 
formed a part of the Fourth Annual Report. This paper included 
an account of the origin and character of the soils of Florida, 
and was intended as a basis for subsequent detailed soil surveys. 
VI. The Mineral Resources. Information bearing on the 
mineral resources of the State has formed a part of each annual 
report issued. An account of the fuller’s earth deposits as 
complete as the information then at hand would permit was in¬ 
cluded in the Second Annual Report. Papers on the phosphate 
deposits formed a part of the Third and the present (Fifth) 
Annual Reports. The peat deposits of the State, which are exten¬ 
sive, were described in the Third Annual Report. The clay re¬ 
sources have received general treatment in the First and Second 
Annual Reports. 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
MORE OFFICE SPACE NECESSARY. 
The State Survey is at present housed in two small rooms. 
Of these one is used as store room, photo room and exhibition 
room; the other serves as library, office and work room. These 
small rooms including about 1,000 square feet of floor space are 
totally inadequate to the requirements of effective work. Fully 
10,000 square feet of floor space is necessary to meet the immedi¬ 
ate requirements of the Survey. The library shelves are full, and 
it is now and for some time has been quite impossible to care for 
the publications that are being received. Many of these new 
publications represent the results of investigations by the neigh¬ 
boring State Surveys or by the National Survey, and are very 
necessary for comparative purposes to the Florida Survey. Other 
publications being received from various sources are for refer¬ 
ence purposes and are necessary to the determination of fossils or
