A bstract For curves over a horizontally stratified earth where any of the layers has a conductivity variation proportional to (1 +β· z ) N , where β and N are arbitrary constants and z is the depth to the layer, expressions for apparent resistivity for Wenner and Schlumberger sounding are derived. No assumption has been made about the continuity of conductivity at the interface. It is shown that most of the previous investigations in this connection can be regarded as particular cases of the present study.
