Feet. 
54-68 blue sand with wood fragments, much irony water. 
68-76 white sand and white clay. 
76-90 coarse gravel in very white clay. 
90-90£ clay. 
90^-103^ fine white sand mixed with clay. 
103^-110 coarse gravel with white clay, considerable irony water. 
110-114 sandstone and hard sand. 
114-119 sand and gravel with much water. 
The horizon is in the Baritau formation, about 125 feet below its top. 
In another well in Bordentown, which was sunk to a depth of over 
220 feet, a good supply of ferruginous water was found at 195 feet and 
the crystalline bedrock at 220 feet. The water is in basal sands of the 
Karitan formation underlying 05 feet of red clay, and it rises to about 
tide level. 1 
Bridgeton, Cumberland County. — The well at East Bridgeton is at an ( 
altitude of about 40 feet. It was bored at a depth of 90 feet, but 
yielded no water supply. The record is as follows :

probably all post-Miocene (post-Chesapeake) in age. 
Brigantine. — In the summer of 1895 a 798-foot well was completed at 
this place. It flows over 100 gallons per minute and undoubtedly 
draws from the 800-foot horizon at Atlantic City. Very small flows 
were noted at 517 to 525 feet and at 670 feet. The main flow is from 
sands at 728 to 798 feet. The diatom clay series extended from 389 to 
670 feet. The detailed record is given by Mr. L. Woolman in New 
Jersey report for 1895. 3 
Burlington^ Burlington County, — A well at the residence of O. S. Ta 
lor, near Burlington, was sunk 200 feet in the dark clays of the lowei 
part of the Matawan formation and the upper part of the Baritau 
clays, and ended in a light- colored clay. No good supply of water was 
obtained. 4
