Mr. Charles Bevis, Supervisor Florida State Board of Conservation Tallahassee, Florida
Dear Mr. Bevis:
The Interior and Insular Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives, United States Congress, encouraged members of the United States Geological Survey, and the United States Weather Bureau, "to prepare graphic descriptions of the geologic, topographic and hydrologic features of eight type areas, chosen to show in detail on a sample area basis characteristics which are typical of extensive areas," throughout the United States.
Florida was fortunate in being selected as the type area of artesian groundwater occurring in carbonate aquifers. The report on the central and northern Florida area was prepared by Messrs. Cooper, Kenner and Brown of the United States Geological Survey and was considered to be so readable, factually true, and excellently illustrated that it should be made available to the citizens of Florida, as part of the service by this Department.
I am pleased to submit this fine report with the request that it be published as Report of Investigations No. 10.
Respectfully,
Herman Gunter, Director
