WATER SUPPLY OP EASTERN AND SOUTHERN EEORIDA. 159 
glades, east and south of Lake Okeechobee, has not been deter¬ 
mined as no wells have been drilled in this part of the State. 
While definite information is lacking, it is considered probable that 
flowing wells will be obtained within the Everglades; particularly 
toward the western side. Subsequent records may show that the 
Atlantic Coast and Gulf Coast flowing areas are connected bv 
way of the Everglades and around Lake Okeechobee. 
While the northern limit of the Southern Gulf Coast area has 
been given as the Pinellas Peninsula, from recent well records it 
seems probable that a flow may be obtained north of this limit, 
and possibly entirely around the Gulf Coast. Two wells have 
reached this deeper flow, one at Crystal River, in Citrus County, 
and one at Perry, in Taylor County. The well in Taylor County 
reached a depth of 1,199 feet. The total dissolved solids in this 
water, as shown by analysis made by the State Chemist, is 5,650 
parts per million parts water. The chlorine alone amounts to 590 
parts per million parts water. The water is reported to have 
medicinal qualities. The well in Citrus County reached a depth 
of 1,900 feet. The following is an analysis of the water from 
this well made for the State Survey by the State Chemist in 1907:

WESTERN GULF COAST AREA. 
The Western Gulf Coast area begins at Carrabelle, in 
Franklin County, and extends to the western line of the State. 
The flow along this westward extension of the State is evidently 
due to the rapid southward dip of the formations exposed along 
the northern line of the State, and in southern Georgia and Ala¬ 
bama. Both the Oligocene and the Miocene formations exposed
