ARTESIAN WELLS ON THE ATLANTIC COAST. 
[BULL. 13a 
The principal horizons at Atlantic City are those near 525, 700, and 
800 feet, and these I have designated in the table and on the maps and 
sections by the letters C, E, and G, respectively. They are wide- 
spread, clearly defined in relations, and yield large amounts of waters 
to many wells. The deposits consist of coarse sands intercalated 
between beds of clay, and their stratigraphic relations and intervals 
appear to be fairly constant over a wide area. 
In the following table there is given a list of the wells which have 
penetrated the Chesapeake beds, with indications of their equivalence 
with Atlantic City horizons:
