Abstract
IN NATURE of May 20 Mr. Sydney H. Long describes some “blowing” wells near to Norwich, and intimates that he had not heard of such before. Actually, such wells are not uncommon, and in a recently published memoir of the Geological Survey, on “The Water Supply of Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire from Underground Sources,” some are described (cf. Duston, Long Buckby, Northampton).
