NOTES ON WELLS IN EASTERN GEORGIA. 
Savannah. — This city is supplied with water from twelve 12-inch wells, 
which yield 4,000,000 gallons a day. They are in the western extremity 
of the city, on low ground, and the water rises to the surface level but 
does not overflow. Their depths are 500 and 600 feet. No record 
could be obtained of the beds penetrated in boring, except a statement 
that they were " clay, porous rock, and a thin layer of flint rock," 
The water is clear and tasteless, although it has an odor of sulphur 
when it first reaches the atmosphere. The following analysis of the 
water was kindly furnished by the superintendent of the waterworks :
