way between Geneva and Lyons, but east of the meridian line, 
and constitutes the highest ground upon its meridian between 
lakes Ontario and Seneca. The boundaries of the sand areas are 
indefinite but the northern limit seems to be about one-half 
mile north of Bisch’s sawmill or five miles in a direct line from 
Lyons. The heart of the area is the group of knolls surround- 
ing the Junius ponds. Southward the knolly area broadens, east 
and west, and blends into the wide silt plain which extends to 
Seneca lake. 
The width of the kame area on the “state road,” which passes 
between the ponds and through the heart of the area, is about 
one and one-half miles. Junius Grange Hall is just at the eastern 
limit of the sand, and the western limit is beyond Mitchell’s sta- 
‘tion (West Junius P.O.) on the Geneva and Lyons R. R. North 
from this station the railroad passes a mile west of the sand area; 
southward the railroad lies in the sand to beyond East X station, 
within three miles of Geneva. The length from Bisch’s Mill to 
East X is about six miles. 
Topography, altitude and drainage. —It is said that the surveys 
for the Geneva and Lyons Railroad made the height of the South 
pond 34 feet above Seneca lake. This is probably not far from 
correct, and would make the altitude 474 feet above tide. The 
South pond is about 13 feet higher than the other ponds. All 
the ponds in the heart of the area are drained northward by one 
brook into the Clyde river, with a fall of about 80 feet. The 
southern part of the area, including the swamp and the Lynch 
pond, is drained southward into Seneca river. 
The topographic relief of the kame area is not remarkable. 
The higher knolls rise some 70 or 80 feet above the ponds, giv- 
ing an extreme altitude of perhaps 550 feet above tide. The 
surface in the region of the ponds is decidedly hilly, but south- 
ward it would be better described as ‘“‘billowy.” 
Lakes.—The lakes are notable for their reported depth as 
compared with their small area. The largest one, ‘‘ North pond,” 
with an area of about twenty acres, is said to be 62 feet deep. 
The others are reported to be of great depth. ‘South pond,”
