Me bp of South Carolina, showing potitioi Darlington on the costal plain. m of To the lake-like expanses the term‘bay* is Usually appHe' and by it is meant a perfectly flat, clayey area with a surface ‘ruf&E&Ss Y few acreb-in i a mile or two i or more in i; the smaller ones being rnuch mota numerous and bar- iog usually an area of 20 to 30 acres. They are in some cases approximately round in shape, f are usually ovoid or eiHptica' (see. Fig. 2), and are covered with vegetation stained wafer from a few inches to a foot or two deep, according to the season. Growing in this witsr, rriisre the ‘bav’ is un cleared, are cypress, juniper or black^pun trees with a moder ately wkik swamp undergrowth. Except when overflowed in a rainy season, there is often in the smaller ‘bays’ no per manent drainage. In,the larger ones a small streamlet usually rises. When cleared for culti vation, the first requisite is to dig a ditch to the nearest stream or main ditch sufficiently deep f orttordugfc diisinagB. \ ligX Sketch map of a 'hay ’ a, ‘bay’; , intermittent outflow by. ridge borders each ie east and southeast ids fairly the south, so far as I on the west or sise with In 5 , however, it rises only above the gen* The width • rod ter three or four rods. The Other duties prevented my mapping the large ‘bays’ that occur. ~to see what rela tiooship, if any, could be discov ered from their position. They seem to be scattered irregularly over the flat surface, some nearer the present coast than others. Whether they arrange themselves along certain lines I cannot say. By some the sand ridges are attributed to wind action This, however, would require a region free of .vegetation, and we do not know that this one ever was so over any broad area. Besides, the wind would pile the dunes on other sides of the ‘bays’ than the east and south* east, unless it blew away from the east or southeast—a suppo sition of which no proof can be given. Finally, wind action is insufficient to account for the bases of the sand ridges extend ing beneath the general surface of the adjacent sands and clays. From an examination of the Coast Burvey charts of the Albemarle and Pamlico Bound region, I was at first led to con clude that I had. in the ‘bays’ the rueult of numerous repeti tions on a smaller scale of what is now going on in these sounds —the difference in the «t*< of the bodies compared being great, but their agreement in process being strong. Each sound is a drowned valley with a bottom 15 to 25 feet deep at most and, being cut off from the ocean by the send bar thrown across its mouth, they are slowly silting up with the very fine material brought down by the sluggish streams that empty into them. If present conditions continue long enough they will be filled with a fine, compact clay, and are already skirted on the southeast and east byasand dune. There is att appar ent analogy. The former sea where Darlington now stands— though deep shortly before this from frhe thick beds of fuller’s earth which must have been veryjrently deposited far fro shore sands—was shallow, as shown by the marl deposits near the surface Vnd by the sands over all the region showin 'through a bay' on lias A B in _ •1; 5, surface of 'bay*; e. elay flllli *, loosa sands and clars dtpp part; g, pump; A, water 3.

They may exist in the* case of the larger ones. The irregular dis? tribution toward the present shore is another diffculty. The prevailing rounded or el : liptical shape is not explained. That the. sea, when this part of the coastal plain rose above it, left numerous inequalities somewhat eijpifer to the ripple madepittings seen in the bottom of a gutter after a rain has sug If so, these rated ridges highest above the general shore slope on their east side—might have formed the basins for these ‘bays.’ Fuller observation and study is needed before anything but a tentative conclusion may be reaoded. Any additional obser vation or suggestions will be gladly welcomed. L. C. Glknn. Darlington, 8. C. Advertising on • Fence. While riding near a neigh boring town, says the Dansville (N. Y.)
