The paper described a series of these lakes in the several valleys, 

 extending in a belt from the Tonawanda valley on the west to the 

 \alleys in the region of Syracuse on the east, with their phenomena 

 and life history. These lakes expanded northward with the ice reces- 

 sion and were destroyed by the opening of outlets across the east or 

 west borders lower than the original southward outlet. Those lakes 

 with higher levels were lowered to adjoining lakes of lower le\els, and 

 all were e\entually drained into and blended with the great glacial 

 Lake Warren, which poured its waters westward to Mississippi drain- 

 age, and crept eastward along the ice front until it was also destroyed 

 by draining east into the Mohawk. 



During the life of the local lakes, Ithaca lake on the east and 

 Haniniondsport lake on the west were lowered to the level of the 

 Watkins lake, which in its expanded state is called Lake Newberry. 

 The latter met its extinction by draining westward into Lake Warren 

 at a point fi\e miles southeast of Canandaigua village, soon blend- 

 ing with the larger water.
