Notes.
a. Weighted average coefficient of permeability determined by laboratory methods. (From Lohman, 1941, table 1.)
b. Excluding unsaturated part of top sample.
c. Modified from drillers log; samples from 485-495 ft. are limestone.
d. L1, L2, etc., refer to test-hole numbers used by Lohman (1941).
