HOT  SPEINGS.                     151
     a number of small volcanic craters,  and the surface is partly covered
     with fragments of pumice and obsidian.  At the vapor vents the rock
    has  been  extensively  altered  by solfataric  action  and reduced  to  a
    siliceous sinter, but a mud similar to that at the Coso Springs was not
    observed.  This  difference  is  probably  due  partly  to  the  fact  that
     there is  not sufficient water  at the vapor vents to  form  a mud,  and
    partly because they issue through lava, which does not become kaolin-
    ized as readily as does the granitic rock at Coso Hot Springs.

                       SUMMARY  OF  HOT  SPRINGS.
       The  foregoing  descriptions,  comprising  149  springs  or  groups  of
    springs,  include  9  resorts  at which  there  are  no  natural  springs,  so
     that the total number of hot-spring groups is 140.  As several springs
     that have been described separately may be considered geographically
     to form only  one group they have been gathered in the following list
    into 98 general localities,  which have been arranged  (1)  according to
     the absence or presence of a notable spring deposit;  (2)  according to
     the absence or presence of lava near by, and (3)  according to the char-
     acter  of  the  material from  which  the  water issues, this arrangement
    having been adopted in order to show clearly the formation of depos-
    its by hot springs,  the relation of hot waters to lava areas,  and their
     general geologic features.
