The well marked and highly inclined bedding planes and the absence of any very prominent system of joints afford the factors which, without any knowledge from observation, might be used to predict the probable direction of any underground stream or cavern. It was not sur- prising therefore, to find that the direction of the subterranean channel as expos...ed by the "cave-ins" coincided with the strike of the beds in its vicinity. Moreover, the sides of the limestone chan- nel descended where they could be observed, at an angle and in a direction similar to that of nearby outcrops of the limestone and evidently conform rather closely to bedding planes. (PL V. ) At the time of the writer's visit all of the limestone channel which was exposed had a direction of N. 48 W. The close agreement between the direction of the exposed channel and the strike of the rocks, and the evident predominant influence of strike and dip on underground drainage led the writer at the time of his visit to sug- gest to the city engineer that in all probability any future "cave- ins" would be on or very near the 48 line passing through the first series of " cave-ins.
