waters. Tlie liigher one is of good form, direction northeast-soutlnvest, 

 with an elevation (aneroid) of 1)50 feet. 'J'en I'eet lower are three short 

 ))ars of clean, fine gravel. 



On the south side of the same ravine occurs an excellent bar of lake 

 W^arren. It is a strong ridge, of good form and clear gravel, which enters 

 the village cemetery at the upper or northwest corner, with direction 

 northwest-southeast and elevation of 840 feet. 



On the east side of the valle}', southeast of INIontour Falls, are excel- 

 lent beaches, at altitudes corresi)onding to th(^se on the west side. The 

 higher (Watkins-Newberr}') bars lie u])on the north side of the Plavana- 

 Odessa highwa}^, about half wa)^ between the villages, on land of Mr 

 John A. Charles, and a few rods above the house of Mr lAither J. Drake. 

 There are three bars only a few rods apart, the middle one being the 

 strongest. The latter crosses the road oljliquely, trending southwest, 

 and may be easily located by a large oak tree that stands on the bar b}' 

 the north side of the road. Taking as datum the top of rail at the 

 Odessa station of the Lehigh Valley railroad as 1,092.32 feet above tide, 

 the highest of the three bars, somewhat irregular and broken, is 940 to 

 942. feet. The middle and strongest bar is 935 feet and the lowest is 932 

 feet. 



Bars of the Warren waters foi'm the front of a terrace on the south 

 side of the road on the north side of the famous Havana glen. These 

 are behind the house of Mr Frank Doolittle. There are two ridges of 

 nearly equal height, the outer one of excellent form, direction northwest- 

 southeast. The line of levels from Odessa station makes the elevation 

 of these bars 840 feet. B}^ leveling across the valley, with proper cor- 

 rections, these bars were found to accord with that in the Montour Falls 

 cemetery. 



WEST SIDE OF SENECA VALLEY 



At Watkins the Watkins-Newberr}^ levels are found in good form on 

 the summit of the delta above the village, both sides of the Watkins 

 glen. Above the cemeter^^ which is located on the terraces of the delta 

 on the north side of the glen, the delta summit is a broad plateau of 

 gravel, withj'olling surface, with a handsome bar upon the edge; direc- 

 tion northwest-southeast. In 1894, by hand level, the elevation was 

 made 961 feet; with aneroid, in 1897, it was made 955 to 960 feet. 



On the south side of the glen the delta is wider and less definite, 

 but displays several terraces near the summit with good bars. Taking 

 the top of rail of the Fall Brook railroad on the viaduct across the glen 

 as 1,022.40 feet, the higher series of good bars was made by aneroid 960, 

 952, and 950 feet. The middle bar is ten rods in front of the higher,
