  each 
  other 
  but 
  with 
  the 
  overflow 
  channels 
  as 
  well. 
  

   While 
  the 
  remaining 
  criteria 
  are, 
  as 
  a 
  rule, 
  rather 
  plainly 
  and 
  some- 
  

   what 
  strongly 
  marked, 
  they 
  can 
  not 
  be 
  considered 
  in 
  any 
  degree 
  as 
  

   primary 
  factors, 
  but 
  only 
  as 
  efficient 
  and 
  emphatic 
  aids 
  to 
  the 
  

   prominent 
  or 
  primary 
  ones. 
  

  

  With 
  such 
  prehminary 
  description 
  as 
  has 
  alreadj^ 
  been 
  given 
  of 
  

   the 
  above 
  criteria 
  they 
  can 
  best 
  be 
  considered 
  under 
  each 
  lake 
  stage, 
  

   where 
  they 
  will 
  be 
  discussed. 
  

  

  Terminology 
  

  

  In 
  naming 
  the 
  various 
  lake 
  stages 
  the 
  writer 
  has 
  adopted 
  the 
  names 
  

   first 
  proposed 
  by 
  Fairchild."^ 
  Each 
  level 
  having 
  a 
  separate 
  and 
  inde- 
  

   pendent 
  outlet 
  has 
  been 
  named 
  for 
  the 
  most 
  j^rominent 
  town 
  

   within 
  the 
  old 
  lake 
  area. 
  Thus, 
  each 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  local 
  stages 
  

   has 
  received 
  a 
  geographic 
  name, 
  while 
  the 
  first 
  coalescing 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  

   local 
  waters 
  into 
  one 
  large 
  body, 
  has 
  been 
  given 
  a 
  non-geographic 
  

   name 
  and 
  called 
  in 
  honor 
  of 
  one 
  of 
  our 
  ablest 
  geologists, 
  the 
  late 
  

   Professor 
  Newberry. 
  This 
  stage 
  in 
  the 
  lacustrine 
  history 
  of 
  the 
  

   Finger-lakes 
  has 
  been 
  named 
  glacial 
  lake 
  Newberry.
