THE ARTESIAN WATER SUPPLY OF EASTERN 
FLORIDA 
E. H. SELLARDS AND HERMAN GUNTER. 
INTRODUCTION. 
A study of the water supply of Florida was begun in 1907 
as co-operative work between the Florida State Geological Survey 
and the National Geological Survey. The first paper was issued 
in 1908 as Bulletin No. 1 of the Florida State Geological Survey, 
and relates to the underground water of central Florida. This 
paper, the second of the series to be published by the State Survey, 
extends the study of the water supply to the counties of eastern 
Florida. 
The writers are indebted to the many well drillers and well 
owners who have contributed data regarding wells. Among the 
many who have given assistance the following should be especially 
mentioned: Messrs. Bellough & Melton, J. M. Chambers, C. I. 
Cragin, Dr. E. S. Crill, Capt. R. N. Ellis, Hughes Specialty Well 
Drilling Co., W. E. Holmes, John McAllister, Dr. J. N. Mac 
Gonigle, McGuire & McDonald, W. J. Nesbitt, Hugh Partridge, 
H. Walker, Dr. De Witt Webb, J. W. Wiggins, H. Van Dorn and 
W. D. Holcomb. Extensive well records made in 1907-1908 in 
cooperation with the U. S. Geological Survey by Messrs. Geo. C. 
Matson and F. G. Clapp have been utilized in the preparation of 
this report. Data regarding climate and rainfall have been sup¬ 
plied by Hon. A. J. Mitchell, Director of the Florida section of 
the U. S. Weather Bureau. 
Most of the analyses included have been made in the office of 
the State Chemist especially for this report. Others have been 
made at various times by other chemists. Credit is given with 
each analysis. The general discussion and introductory chapters 
of this paper were written by the senior author. The account of 
the public, city and private supplies and of individual wells was 
written chiefly by the junior author.
