INDIAN TERRITORY. 
The list of springs for Indian Territory is doubtless incomplete, as 
very considerable portions of the Territory are but little known, espe- 
cially in the western and northwestern sections. 
Although several places are mentioned on the list as resorts, they 
are as a rule unimproved and are used principally during the summer 
by persons who camp near them in order to use the waters for medicinal 
purposes.

LOUISIANA. 
Available data as to Louisiana mineral springs are meager and the 
list given here is presumably incomplete. It is mainly compiled from 
information contained in letters from various portions of the State. 
Xo analyses are presented, but the springs are probably similar to 
those of Mississippi, as the geological formations of the two States are 
largely the same. Salt or brine springs prevail in certain portions of 
the State, being common in Xatchitoches and Eapides. 
!NbDe of the medicinal waters is used commercially and those springs 
utilized as resorts appear to be mainly of local importance. 
Walton describes only the De Soto Springs and the White Sulphur 
Springs of Catahoula.
