The “hard white sticky clay” is probably the same as the fine white or gray lignitiferous sands found in the Brooklyn water- works test wells. Mr. De Varona reports that the water from the deep test well at Forest Stream station is so impreg- nated with sulphureted hydrogen as to be unfit for use.@ The following analysis has been made by the Brooklyn health department: Analysis of water from Forest Stream pumping station.

DBD The presence of reddish yellow silty sand containing a considerable percentage of the compound peb- bles which ordinarily characterize the glacial deposits, and which is here not separated by a clay bed from the overlying yellow sands with no glacial material, is unique in this section and doubtless represents a Jameco deposit, which has either never been covered by Sankaty clay or from which the clay has been removed by erosion. 29%.

Water rises to a height of 13 feet above the surface, which is perhaps 5 feet above extreme high tide. Z Mr. Hamilton reports that the only change ever noticed in this well was during the earthquake that occurred in September, 1898. Then the well commenced to flow very strongly and continued to do so for eight or ten hours, when it became normal and has remained so ever since. Record of J. F. Hamilton’s well at Manhasset.

Fig. 33 illustrates a typical case of a flowing well having many of the aspects of a spring. In this case the pipe was driven to a depth of 10 feet and flowing water obtained, as illustrated. It also shows the difference in flow at high and low tide, which is common in nearly all of the wells along the shore and the mud springs or mud cones on the bottom of the bay; these latter are evidently the same as the cones which were studied near Douglaston.
