T. Stearns of the United States Geological Survey in cooperation with the Territorial Government of Hawaii, it was found desirable to test the utility of geophysical methods in the solution of certain Hawaiian water‐supply problems. A cooperative geophysical survey for this purpose was undertaken by the Geophysical Section, then with the Bureau of Mines but later transferred to the Geological Survey, during the course of which a series of resistivity‐studies of certain salt‐water boundaries was begun. Since the location of such boundaries is of considerable importance in many areas it has been thought worth while to present the results which have thus far been obtained.

Geological and hydrological studies comprised the principal part of the investigation, and these studies were supplemented by measurements of earth‐resistivity made largely by the Geophysical Section of the Geological Survey along traverses aggregating 51 miles. The extent to which resistivity‐methods may be useful in ground‐water work has been the subject of much discussion. A full evaluation of the method can not be made at this time. However, the work in the El Paso Area indicates that the presence of faults and of underground bodies of salt water may be definitely determined by resistivity‐measurements.

Although only about four per cent of the State is irrigated, a shortage of water for irrigation becomes a major calamity. A large part of the water‐supply for the State is derived from surface‐streams, but a most valuable supplement to this supply is the water available from underground sources. Ground‐water is used extensively for domestic, stock‐watering, and industrial purposes as well as for irrigation. The primary source of the municipal water‐supply for Salt Lake City is from streams entering the Jordan River Valley from the western slope of the Wasatch Mountains. However, since the drought‐year of 1931, a supplementary municipal supply has been obtained from ground‐water, and, among the 17 wells developed by the City during the extreme drought of 1934, one—yielding about ten cubic feet per second, or 4500 gallons a minute—is probably the largest in the State. Ogden, the second largest city in Utah, with a population of about 40,000, obtains the major part of its municipal water‐supply from a group of artesian wells in Ogden Valley about 12 miles east of the City. A considerable part of the water‐supply for the City of Brigham is obtained from wells. Springs constitute the source of most of the water‐supply for Logan, Provo, and many smaller towns and localities in the State. In nearly every developed area of the State ground‐water is used for some purpose, and in some areas the water‐supply is obtained almost entirely from wells.

This gold‐mine was opened 100 years ago and merits the distinction of being one of the early gold‐discoveries of the Southern Appalachian Region. The Brewer Mine is located near Jefferson, in Chesterfield County, near the northern boundary of South Carolina, and on the eastern edge of the Piedmont Province.
The country rock is described by J. T. Pardee and C. F. Park, Jr., (Gold‐deposits of the Southern Appalachians, U. S. Geol. Surv. Prof. Paper, in preparation) as a quartz‐sericite schist that locally preserves the structure of a fine‐grained, waterlaid tuff, probably a rhyolite,from which it was derived. Exposures of granite that intrude the schist appear on the north and west at distances of a mile to a mile and a half.

These studies have resulted in considerable data that throw much light on the quantity of recharge to the ground‐water in this area. An estimate of the quantity of recharge is of immediate value for this area, because the use of ground‐water is constantly being increased. In addition, it has a general value in serving as a criterion for estimating recharge in other areas in the Southwest for which fewer data are available. Estimates of the recharge in the High Plains as previously made without the advantage of quantitative data have ranged from less than three or four inches a year [see 1 of “References” at end of paper] to less than six inches [2]. The work of the last few years indicates they should be greatly reduced.

Slate Creek enters Salmon River near the eastern border of the Columbia Plateau. In this locality the thick Lower Middle Miocene lava‐flows of the plateau country are interbedded with the sediments of many local lakes formed periodically as successive flows dammed the streams flowing westward from the higher country to the east. A section measured near the mouth of Slate Creek shows the volcanic rocks there to be 2600 feet thick. At some places on the Plateau farther from its borders the flows aggregate more than twice that thickness.

Although the Committee on Glaciers has assembled considerable data on different lines of glaciologic research during the past few years, it seems best to confine this report, like the preceding ones, to a record of the variations—advance or recession—of glaciers in the continental United States and Alaska, and to reserve the other data for presentation later, in separate papers. The variations of glaciers here reported are for the 12‐month period from the autumn of 1935 to the autumn of 1936.

In the broad sense, based on the etymology of the term, geophysics means the physics of the Earth. This is its significance in the names “Geophysical Laboratory of the Carnegie Institution of Washington,” “International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics,” and “American Geophysical Union.” In this sense the sciences of geology and hydrology are largely geophysics, although in part they are geochemistry or biology. Geologists and hydraulic engineers who are elected to membership in the American Geophysical Union are, however, often surprised to find that they are regarded as “geophysicists.” I hope that when the Union establisnes a journal, its name will include the expression “Earth physics” or “Physics of the Earth,” in order that there will be no misunderstanding as to its scope.

The ground‐water level in the vicinity of the well from which the water is withdrawn likewise declines, but the amount of decline decreases with increasing distance from the well, so that a cone of depression of the water‐surface in the vicinity of the well is produced. The cone of depression is an actual water‐surface if the ground‐water is not confined under pressure. If the ground‐water is under artesian pressure, the cone of depression is a depression in the piezometric surface. If the cones of depression of two or more wells ending in the same formation overlap, interference of the wells occurs. In this case (the combined yield of the wells when pumped simultaneously will be less than the sum of the individual yields if the wells are pumped separately. In choosing the proper spacing of wells from the operator's point of view, it is important to know the lateral extent of the cones of depression of supply‐wells ending in a given formation. In many installations two or more wells are so closely spaced that their mutual interference is excessive.

This action by the officers provides for greater participation of the members of the Section in committees, and is a step well worth while. The personnel of the Committee as of May 1, 1937, is as follows:
H. K. Barrows R. W. Davenport I. E. Houk F. T. Mavis F. F. Snyder
M. M. Bernard R. S. Goodridge W. G. Hoyt A. F. Meyer H. C. Troxell
E. S. Cullings R. E. Horton Joseph Jacobs C. R. Pettis C. O. Wisler
I consider it an honor to act as Chairman of the Committee on Runoff but regret, however, that I have been unable as yet to coordinate thoroughly the work of the Committee or to inform myself adequately on many runoff‐experiments and research‐problems. Consequently, my report will be very brief and informal.

However, geophysics is coming to have a place in hydrologic investigations, and these results may throw some light on what can be accomplished by resistivity‐measurements.
We have found that,for many questions not involving exact determinations of depth, resistivity‐ measurements give conclusive answers. Ordinarily a reliable answer can be expected to the question of the existence of a buried channel if the covering is composed of unconsolidated material with a resistivity differing from that of the rock. For example, topographic surveys were made at two alternative dam‐sites on a river about four miles apart. Examination of the surface‐geology indicated that a channel burled under glacial debris possibly existed at each site, but resistivity‐measurements proved that such a channel existed at one site and not at the other. On the other hand, at another site the geologist suspected there might be an old channel on a steep side hill. Geophysical measurements showed a depth of overburden of 46 feet and showed that if a deeper channel exists it must be narrow; but they did not show positively that no such channel exists. Probably a careful survey with a large number of lines would have given a more definite answer, but the rough topography interfered with the resistivity‐work, and time and money were not available for a detailed survey. After completion of the geophysical work, the geologist located some outcrops which led him to conclude that no old channel exists at this site. At two other dam‐sites in Oregon resistivity‐measurements showed that there were no burled channels.

The latter estimates are now being supplemented to a certain extent by the precision‐measurements of geophysicist, so that reliable data seem to be assured even in those areas in which the basement rocks are not reached by the drill. With these two sources of information at our disposal—accurate temperature‐measurements and reliable estimates or measurements of depths to bed‐rock—it should be possible to construct a rather accurate subsurface map showing the temperatures on the boundary‐surface between the sedimentaries and the basement floor. In this paper it is proposed chiefly to outline the method of procedure by making some rough calculations of the temperatures at great depths for a few locations in the United States and for one location near Carnarvon, Cape Province, South Africa.

Of the more than 200,000,000 gallons of water a day now pumped from wells, about 65 per cent. comes from the surficial beds of Illinoian or Wisconsin age. Because of the restricted recharge of the lower beds and the desirability of saving these beds for use in localities where the upper beds may more easily be contaminated by salt water, any future large developments of ground water should be drawn from the surficial beds.
