From the few reports of geological surveys of Delaware we learn that 
chalybeate springs are numerous, as would naturally be expected from 
its geological structure. 
They are, however, of comparatively little importance, only one, so 
far as learned, having ever been utilized as a place of resort, viz, the 
Brandywine Chalybeate Spring, which has long been abandoned. 
The table includes all the springs of which mention could be obtained 
by correspondence.

MARYLAND. 
The general works on mineral springs give no space to Maryland and 
Dr. Pepper's list includes but one locality, viz, the Carroll White Sul- 
phur Springs of Alleghany County, which at present, so far as we can 
learn, is not resorted to. 
There are several localities that were once used extensively, but have 
fallen into disuse. 
The proximity of many of the springs to those of Virginia has prob- 
ably caused them to be neglected. Still there are several places of re- 
sort, and the water of one — the Strontia Well of Brooklandville— is 
used commercially. In the eastern part of the State the springs are 
mainly chalybeate, the majority of them unimproved and unimportant.
