The last sentence in the paper “Nomograms . . . ,” p. 1045 should read: “Pass a line through i and Z and read off X, the offset distance.” Also, a regrettable typist omission is present in the paper “An Electrical Resistivity Survey for Ground Water,” and was not captured in reading the typed manuscript. The sentence before last on p. 1093 should read: “The project was later concluded under the auspices of the Missouri Geological Survey, with the active help of Dr. H. C. Spicer of the U.S.G.S. who spent much time in instructing the author in both field techniques and interpretation.”

Glacial Cover

An electrical resistivity survey was carried out in Grundy, Chariton, and Carroll Counties, Missouri, in connection with a ground water project of the Missouri Geological Survey. The aim of the project was to locate buried channels under the glacial cover. The resistivity data obtained was interpreted both empirically and quantitatively. The empirical method was found to be satisfactory wherever the uniformity of electrical properties was maintained by either the glacial cover or bedrock, and the resistivity contrast was high. The quantitative technique used most commonly in this study was Spicer’s (1956) modification of Hummel’s (1932) procedure, used in conjunction with standard two‐, three‐, and four‐layer master curves. The limitations of the quantitative methods of interpretation are indicated in a series of resistivity distribution curves.

Present Area

An electrical resistivity survey of a lacustrine infilled basin in drift (Abbot Moss, N. England) clearly revealed the morphometry and internal structure of the basin. The technique also delimited extensions to the basin, which are buried beneath colluvium outside the present area of peat accumulation. Resistivity drilling has definite advantages over hand boring particularly for deposits formed between deglaciation and the onset of limnic sedimentation, or for sequences containing inpenetrable sand horizons. Geophysical techniques can provide an overall framework and gross stratigraphy of limnic deposits within which more detailed conventional Quaternary studies can be assessed.
