WRITINGS OF JOSEPH HENRY.

The last six stations in the above table, or those from 

 Binghamton to Bath inclusive, are along the valley of the 

 two great branches of the Susquehanna. The elevations 

 opposite these stations give 900 feet as the mean height of 

 the bottom of this valley, but the mountains on each side rise 

 from five hundred to a thousand feet higher. These moun- 

 tains are some of the high ridges whose elevations are given 

 in table No. 1, and which here retain about the same eleva- 

 tion.
