About half of the springs were not considered worthy of attention and are not located on the chart. In the lower portions of this group, there is one of the handsomest foun-. tain-springs. The basin is most elegantly scalloped, nearly circular, 25 feet in diameter, with vertical sides to an unknown depth. The entire mass of the water is at times most violently agitated, and, over- flowing the sides of the basin, passes off in a kind of terrace pools or reservoirs to the main stream, producing a system of architecture out of silica similar to that of the calcareous springs on Gardiner's Eiver. (Fig. 41.) The gay colors, from bright pink to delicate rose, are well shown. Near this fountain is one of the elevated craters, which we.
