280 H. L. FAIRCHILD — LAKE WARREN SHORELINES : GENEVA BEACH. 



Figure 4. 



feet high, it runs eastward about one-half mile on land of Mr Charles 



Hovey and ends abruptly as a 

 broad spit close by the west side 

 of the Huckleberry Hill road. 



A few rods north of the end of 

 the spit and across a narrow val- 

 ley is another spit, formed at the 

 south end of a drumlin, in which 

 is a gravel excavation. Another 

 heavy ridge springs from the 

 eroded north end of the drumlin 

 and runs southeast, crossing the 

 road, and terminates indefinitely 

 in steep banks, perhaps 80 feet 

 high. These phenomena are 

 shown in figure 4. 



The ground to the eastward is 

 molded into drumlin ridges at 

 such an altitude as to break the 

 shoreline into a series of long, nar- 

 row, shallow bays and to prohibit 

 heavy wave action. Bars and 



spits occur at the north ends of the ridges and rarely in the embayments. 

 An example is given in figure 5, 



which represents an area about one 



mile northwest of Lima village, 



where in a north-and-south drum- 



loidal valley having a gentle north- 

 ward slope the low embankments 



are located symmetrically upon op- 

 posite sides of the valley, converg- 

 ing southward and ending as spits. 



The western slope is land of Mr 



William Vary ; the eastern belongs 



to Mr Wilkeson Gary. 

 Another well defined gravel beach 



is found farther east upon the slope 



facing Lima. The altitude of this 



beach is, by Lehigh Valley datum, 



877 feet. The ground then becomes 



lower and so broken and morainic 



that the shoreline phenomena are 



obscure. The village of Lima is 



-Beach Phenomena northeast of East 

 Avon.
