The two upper horizons are not utilized. There is also a water- 
bearing bed about midway between the 525-foot and the 700-foot 
horizon at Ocean City, but it has not been fouud at Atlantic City. 
The sizes, depths, and yields of the Atlantic City wells, from data in 
the New Jersey reports, are given in the table on pages 42-43. 
An analysis of the water from the first deep well at Atlantic City, at 
960 feet, by Messrs. Austin and Wilbur, March 14, 1888, is as follows : l

Atlantic Highlands, Monmouth County. — There are 9 wells at this 
place, which are 4J inches in diameter. Eight of them are 108-112 feet 
deep, and the other is 480 feet deep. The shallower wells flow and 
pump about 80 gallons per minute each. The deep well pumps 250 gal- 
lons per minute. The deep water is ferruginous, but is said to be satis- 
factory after filtration. The 108-112-foot water is from a sand bed in 
the Matawan formation, about 160 feet below the top of the formation. 
The lower formation is in sands in the medial beds of the Baritan 
formation. 
Barnegat Landing, Ocean County. — At this place there is a flowing 
well with a depth of 120 feet. The horizon has been correlated by Mr. 
Woolman 2 with the 525-foot horizon of Atlantic City and the water at 
137 feet at Waretown, which I believe to be correct. 
Bayhead, Ocean County. — Excellent water is obtained at 710 feet, 
apparently from the base of the Lower Marl series, 3 or the same horizon
