Owing to thedifficulties explained under the description of the method of taking samples and totroubles caused by the presence of hydrogen sulphide, it will be noticed that the checksamples taken for hydrogen sulphide in glass holders, and the general sample used indetermining the other constituents were sometimes obtained on different dates. In allcases the capacity is the number of cubic feet in 24 hours as measured by the Pietottube after the well was finished. All the samples in Kent were taken by the writerwith the exceptions noted later on. Tnis field is shown on plan to larger scale. 242 Bureau of Mines No. 4
