In addition to these, reports have been rendered to the Director 

 on the quadrangles listed below, these awaiting publication chiefly 

 for completion in certain details.

Chittenango Syracuse 



Central and western New York. In western New York final 

 resurvey has been made by Mr Luther of the Caledonia, Honeoye, 

 Wayland and Phelps quadrangles and preliminary control of the 

 Batavia, Attica and Depew quadrangles with an expansion of opera- 

 tions of previous years on the Albion, Medina and Lockport re- 

 gions. These results represent in part the gradual summation of 

 work extending over several seasons and the progressive attack on 

 new fields. 



In central New York the Utica quadrangle was covered in a 

 preliminary control by Mr Clark and work on the Sangerfield 

 quadrangle progressed by Mr Whitnall. 



Eastern New York, Saratoga county. Saratoga Springs has, for 

 several years, been the seat of a litigious activity in which the 

 welfare of the mineral water and gas springs is involved, with 

 deep concern to a variety of commercial interests. By virtue of re- 

 cent legislation the State has set itself to save the mineral water 

 springs. It is a worthy but difficult task; worthy, because the Sara- 

 toga springs present a unique geological phenomenon which should 

 be saved from destruction, irrespective of the commercial interests 

 involved ; difficult, because the intervention of government has 

 come late and is confronted by large vested rights.
