K Ac. Set, 74 MarcA lo, the summer season. On Chesapeake Bay the areas of sand having sonorous properties occur in the midst of ordinary sand beaches of great extent, and, since the eye cannot distinguish the sonorous from the non-sonorous sand, the existence of the former is hardly recog- nized, save by local fishermen and natives of the region. The experience gained on the visits to these five beaches led Dr. Bolton to believe that sonorous sand is far more common than sup- posed ; so he call...ed to his assistance the services of Mr. S. I. Kim- ball, Superintendent of the U. S. Life Saving Service, who kindly sent out in his own name a circular, prepared by Dr. Bolton, ad- dressed to the 200 keepers of Life Saving Stations in the United States. From these keepers letters and samples are now frequently arriving. Already forty-six (46) localities of sonorous sand have been reported, at various points on the Atlantic coast, from Maine to North Carolina, and on Lake Michigan. The speaker stated he had a list of 66 localities in all, including foreign.
