petroleum, was struck at a considerable depth in the well. Both
the water of the well and that of the spring issue from lake sediments
which cover the western part of the island.
SULPHUR SPUING IN SULPHUR MEADOWS (FRESNO 6).
A spring of faintly sulphureted water rises in Sulphur Meadows,
one-half mile south of Shaver lumber mills, in the mountains of north-
eastern Fresno County. It is" situated at the border of a pine grove
in which there is a group of cabins, and it has been curbed and inclosed
to form a drinking pool. It yields a small amount of clear cool
potable water. The region is one of granitic rocks, in which at least
one other sulphur spring rises in the ravine above the meadow, but
this latter spring is of slight flow and has not been improved.

SULPHUR SPRINGS NEAR GLENNVILLE (KERN 6).
Two mildly sulphureted springs that yield a combined flow of about
10 gallons a minute issue one-half mile east of Glennville post
office on the slopes of the southern Sierra. The springs have been
used for irrigating a garden, as their water is not strongly mineralized.
A few other mildly sulphureted springs of small flow issue in the
same locality, one of them being near the post office. The rocks of
the region consist of the granitic material that composes most of
this portion of the Sierra, and on account of the scarcity of other
mineralized springs in the vicinity the sulphur springs near Glennville
are worthy of special note.
SULPHUR SPRINGS NEAR BULLION MOUNTAINS (SAN BERNARDINO 43).
Several springs of strongly sulphureted water issue near the southern
end of Bullion Mountains, in flat land on the road that leads south-
eastward from Victorville to Dale mining camp. The yield of water
is considerable, but it tastes too strongly of hydrogen sulphide to be
palatable. It is seldom used for watering, as there is better water
about 2 miles farther north.

SUMMARY OF SULPHUR SPRINGS.
In the following list the sulphur springs, numbering 72, have been
tabulated, as were the hot springs and the carbonated springs, with
respect to the character of the rock in which they rise. Many of the
hot springs are sulphureted, and those which are notably so have been
included in the list in italics. A few sulphur springs at groups that
have been described under other headings are also included in the list,
in which they are marked by parentheses.
The list shows that most of the sulphur springs are in areas of
sedimentary rocks, possibly because the sulphide constituent, which
is usually hydrogen sulphide, is more readily taken into solution
from sediments, for they usually contain organic matter and metallic
