It is shown that the optical object identified with 3C 455 is a quasi-stellar object with a redshift z = 0.543. The QSO is situated 23 sec northeast of the S0 galaxy NGC 7413, which has a redshift of 0.0332. It is pointed out that the discovery of the present object in a position so close to a galaxy is further evidence in favor of the existence of a physical association between 3C QSOs and bright galaxies.
The author has identified the following significant results. Structures clearly traceable through bed rock are considered most reliable. Continuity, however, is frequently traceable through ranges and across adjoining sedimentary basins where changes in drainage, erosion pattern, soil color, or vegetation suggest that the basin sediments are extremely sensitive to underlying structures. Many large and continuous trends, too smeared by erosion to be visible on the ground or from aircraft photos, become quite evident at the scale of the ERTS-1 images. The study was made with little regard for surface geology. The trends have been retraced to separate and unidirectional sets. These are now being related to surface geology, geophysical studies, volcanic and intrusive centers, and areas of mineralization.

A method for detecting surface water using ERTS-1 multispectral scanner digital data is described. The several computer programs for processing multispectral data are described, along with the manner in which these programs were used. The use of the LARSAA program to test and demonstrate the discriminant function is explained. The discriminant function itself was later implemented in an operational program which performs only those specific operations necessary to test each data point for an indication of surface water in the scene. Several possible sources of difficulty in the use of the function are identified, and suggestions are made for avoiding or correcting those difficulties.
