beunderstood from the geologic conditions already described that pre-diction in this field is exceptionally hazardous. On another page themost favorable regions for prospecting are indicated, but it is entirelywithin the range of possibility that elsewhere than in these apparentlyfavorable localities oil may be found in commercial quantities. Allthat can be said with regard to the greater part of this field is thatno evidence of the existence of such deposits has yet appeared, and theonly way in which their presence or absence can be definitely deter-mined is by systematic and expensive drilling. BEAUMONT DISTRICT. This district includes the small area which is actually productive,generally known as Spindletop, and a much larger surrounding areain which active prospecting has been going on for more than a year,but which has not yet developed any paying wells. The Spindletoppool will first be described and then the surrounding unproductiveportion of the district. U S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
