the several geologic provinces into which the state may be divided, to¬ 
gether with additional notes arranged by counties. A geologic map has 
been prepared to accompany the report. In the concluding chapter of 
the report will be found a statement on the probabilities of oil and gas 
production in Florida. 
LITERATURE 
The literature available relating to the geology of Florida includes 
publications by the State Geological Survey of Florida, by the United 
States Geological Survey and by various scientific societies and journals. 
Among publications of the Florida Geological Survey which will be 
found serviceable in this connection may be mentioned the following: 
Second Annual Report, Stratigraphic Geology; Third and Fifth An¬ 
nual Reports, water supply and well logs of eastern and southern Flor¬ 
ida ; Fourth Annual Report, water supply and well logs of west Florida; 
Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth Annual Reports, structural condi¬
