The foregoing list of publications justifies the statement that the 
Survey has been active. Much has been done, and more could have been 
accomplished but for the limited appropriation which has hampered the 
work and the plans that have been formulated from time to time. Flor¬ 
ida is a large state, and detailed investigations necessarily take time, so 
that if the work of reporting upon the state’s natural resources has ap¬ 
parently made slow progress, it is for the reason just stated. Provision 
should be made for additional assistance on the Survey staff, and an in¬ 
crease of the fund for the maintenance of the Department should be pro¬ 
vided. This would make the work more effective and give-an impetus 
to the investigations of the varied resources. The Survey has suffered 
very greatly during the past few years, and not the less so during the 
past year; and it has been most difficult to adjust the stipulated appro¬ 
priation to the usual demands of maintenance. Inadequacy of compen¬ 
sation, too, is one of serious concern. These have been met only through 
sacrifice and loyalty to the work, but there is a limit to such devotion 
to the cause, and attention should be given the Department. 
MUSEUM 
Material illustrative of the mineral products of the state are on dis¬ 
play in the Survey museum. At present there are three double cases 
which serve both the purpose of display and storage. The storage cases 
are full, and much of the contents could be displayed to advantage if 
additional cases for such purpose were available. The museum needs 
more cases and other accessories, not only for the display of material 
now on hand but to provide space for the display of collections that 
could be made if these could be placed on exhibition instead of being 
consigned to boxes in a storage room. 
WORK IN PROGRESS 
The investigations now in progress relate chiefly to a revision of a 
report on the underground waters of the state. The underground water
