Schlumberger says^ "the equipotential curves of small radius belong to small spherical surfaces which lie at small depths in the earth and are therefore unaffected by deep-lying masses. The deep-seated masses thus only influence curves of large ; Schlumberger's is distinct from any other method, where the whole measuring processes are continually fed by an electric current. It is executed by cutting out the direct-current carrying electrodes and the measurement is made on the surface by the polarization of the potential distribution brought about in an ore body. If a constant direct current flows through a mineral deposit, Schlum- berger has ascertained that an electrolysis takes place in the ground on the surface of the deposit (Fig. 156) if water 1 "Etude sur la prospection electrique du sous-sol," Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Haddock, M.
