The ‘‘sandy loam” reported is probably a fine silt-like sand. A gen- 
eral section shows hardpan, probably boulder-clay, overlain by fine clays, 
and these in turn by fine sands, with one thick intercalation of gravel. 
At the Rome cemetery rock was found at 70 feet. At Saint Marys cem- 
etery, northwest of Rome, a boring of 166 feet did not reach rock. The 
material was nearly all sand and gravel. At the Silver Plating works, 
Oneida, the depth is (probably) 170 feet to rock. At the Warner Elec- 
tric and Power plant, Oneida, a depth of 117 feet was attained without 
striking rock. Nearly all the material was quicksand. A slight layer 
of gravel was found at 50 feet, another at 100 feet, and 3 to 4 feet of 
coarse gravel with cobblestones were penetrated at the bottom. About 
Durhamvyille 40 to 60 feet of fine clays are common, overlain by 15 to 18 
feet of sandy loam and glass sand. At Sylvan beach, Oneida lake, 150 
feet were traversed without rock. Ata depth of 22 feet 60 to 70 feet of 
clay were encountered, underlain by gravel. The altitudes of the rock 
bottom at the several points are approximately, as deduced from the 
above data, as follows:
