FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-— 15TH ANNUAL REPORT 
PLANS OF THE SURVEY 
In planning for field work regard is paid to the following: The 
request for information along any given line and information ob¬ 
tained about resources that apparently offer opportunities of develop¬ 
ment. Thus the present report on the clays, it is thought, is very timely. 
It is planned to follow this with a report on the limestones and marls. 
Upon the completion of this, information would be in hand relative to 
the cement resource possibilities of the State. 
Peat :—A preliminary report on the peat deposits of the State was 
published by the Survey in 1910, but the edition is now exhausted. Re¬ 
quests are regularly being received for information, particularly as to 
the fuel value of our peat bogs. Investigation and report upon the peat 
deposits of the State with particular reference to their fuel value should 
be made. There are known to be beds of peat in Florida that might 
prove of large value to local industries in this respect. Their location, 
extent and value should be determined. 
Geography of Southern Florida :—The report on the geography of 
Central Florida, in the Thirteenth Annual Report, has supplied just the 
information many persons have wanted. Work is now in progress on a 
similar report for Southern Florida.
