elevation. The higher gravels are found both sides of the ravine near 

 Mr Owen's residence. No transverse bars were seen, Init heavy gravel 

 ridges that diverge obliquely from the ravine. These have the form of 

 bars and the material is well assorted gravel. 'J'he lowest ))ar heads l»y 

 the lane leading to the house and ends eastward in a broad lol^e 1)y the 

 south side of the east-and-west road; its elevation at head is 8GB feet, at 

 end 859. The full height of the stronger bars is seen west of the lane 

 on a fair terrace, Avith elevation of 877 feet, and somewhat higher to- 

 Avard their head. These higher ridges may have belonged to the flood- 

 tide delta that was above the lake-level. 



At Taughannock Falls station (top of lower rail 833.02 feet) the action 

 of the Warren waters is shown in excellent form. East and south of the 

 station and both sides of the ravine are handsome bars. The highest 

 has an elevation of 849 feet. South of the ravine this is a strong curving 

 gravel ridge, crossing the highway and supporting the barn belonging 

 to Mrs R. Wilcox. North of the ravine it forms the highest part of a 

 broad plateau of fine soft gravel. This plateau declines lakeward, with 

 ridged surface, and about 60 rods east ends abruptly with an excellent 

 frontal bar. This bar curves around the edge of the terrace, reaching 

 clear to the ravine, Avith convexity lakeAvard ; its elevation is 826 feet. 

 A corresponding level is found on the south side of the ravine, where 

 beyond a depression a heavy ridge lies under the house of Mr Henry 

 Luckey, with elevation by aneroid of 830 feet. 



The village of Trumansburg is built on a broad delta plain of the 

 Newberry waters, and bars are well developed both sides of the ravine 

 which passes through the village. On the north side the bars appear be- 

 tw^een Congress and Prospect streets. The lower and heavier bar crosses 

 Prospect street, supporting the houses of Mr Davenport and Mr North 

 on the east side of the street. This bar forms the north edge of the bluff- 

 like terrace .at this place. Northwestward it crosses Congress street and 

 runs against higher ground. Landward two other lighter bars appearonly 

 a few rods apart and a few^ feet higher. Taking the to}) of the Lehigh 

 Valley rail at the station as 876.22, the frontal Ijar is 956 to 958 feet and 

 the inner bar, }jerliaps 15 rods distant, is 962 feet elevation. 



South of the ravine a good bar is found crossing South street obliquel}^ 

 trend south oO degrees east, in front of the house of Mr Ver Planck, occu- 

 pied (1897) by Mr A\"oodward. Its altitude is practicall}' the same as 

 those on the north side of the village. 4'he general level of the village 

 plateau is very little higher than the bars. 



The \\'arren level shows as a heavy bar below or east of the railroad 

 station. The southern branch crosses the east-and-west road at the 

 house of Mr C. M. Dickerman and strikes the ravine road under the
