supplies, although in some instances the quality of the water has not 
been satisfactory. In these instances I find that purer waters could 
probably be obtained from greater depths, for nearly every portion of 
the Coastal Plain region in the State is underlain by several horizons 
of water, and usually only the one nearest the surface has been drawn on. 
Data for wells in Maryland have been obtained largely from Mr. J. 
H. K. Shannahan, of Easton, who has sunk many of the wells. Mr. 
L. Rude, of Sharps Wharf, Ya., has sunk wells in St. Mary and Calvert 
counties and supplied the information regarding them. Data for the 
Baltimore wells have been obtained mainly by personal canvass, and 
my information regarding them has been derived from many persons. 
The locations of wells in Maryland are shown on PI. V, and some of 
the relations are shown in sections 2 and 3 of PI. VI and section 1 
of PI. XII. The following is a list of the wells, excepting those in 
Baltimore, which are given on page 137 :
