Elevations on the B. N. Y. and P. R. R. were furnished by Mr. Geo. S. Gat- 

 chell, Kntjincer, who writes: " Callinf;; Luke Erie oT:?' above tide, ohj- elevation 

 at the crossin;^ of tlie Erie Railway, at Oleaii, is IWJ. Erie (R. R. levels) 14:«, 

 difference 3'. At lUitfalo our elevation is 11' above what we took to be surface 

 of water in Lake Erie, but I do not think it is exactly right. We assumed sur- 

 face of water in Lake Erie from surface of water In Buffalo Creek, about 3 miles 

 from the liake. Lake Erie, 57.'!'; our depot, U' = oS4; Erie Railway (levels) 588; 

 difference 4'. You see llie difference at Olean & Buffalo is very near the same. 

 The Erie Railway here (at Olean), is on about the same elevation as our track."
