Abstract
Professor Alfano has faced the wide problem of interpretation of resistivity measurements in the presence of tridimentional distribution. This is probably the line of research that will produce remarkable progress in the application of resistivity measurements. However, we will only carry out a schematic examination of the methods which are now employed in the automatic interpretation of vertical electrical soundings. A description, even approximate, of the various methods adopted by different authors would have required even more space than that at our disposal.
