8 FLORIDA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY-15TH ANNUAL REPORT

 PLANS OF THE SURVEY

 In planning for field work regard is paid to the following: The request for information along any given line and information obtained about resources that apparently offer opportunities of development. Thus the present report on the clays, it is thought, is very timely. It is planned to follow this with a report on the limestones and marls. Upon the completion of this, information would be in hand relative to the cement resource possibilities of the State.
 Peat:-A preliminary report on the peat deposits of the State was published by the Survey in 1910, but the edition is now exhausted. Requests are regularly being received for information, particularly as to the fuel value of our peat bogs. Investigation and report upon the peat deposits of the State with particular reference to their fuel value should be made. There are known to be beds of peat in Florida that might prove of large value to local industries in this respect. Their location, extent and value should be determined.
 Geography of Southern Florida:-The report on the geography of Central Florida, in the Thirteenth Annual Report, has supplied just the information many persons have wanted. Work is now in progress on a similar report for Southern Florida.
