ward from Keuka Park is a bench and terrace ; the relation 

 here is conspicuous enough, but the cliff consists of the hard 

 beds in the Cashaqua already alluded to ; it stands about 70 

 feet above the lake, but descends southward. There is, how- 

 ever, a persistent suggestion of a bench southward to vicinity 

 of Dunning's, not a continuous shoulder, but a recurrence of 

 over-steepened short slopes forming a plane that ultimately 

 dips beneath the water. That the intervals of these benches 

 are connected genetically with the more continuous shoulder 

 and terrace to the north is not established. Furthermore, the

No. 2. This bench and terrace first shows about two and one- 

 half miles north of Dunning's Landing. It is remarkably con- 

 tinuous (figs. 1, 2), and generally sharp in development. At 

 one locality towards the north, where the eastern slope of Bluff 

 Point blends into the northern slope, the twelve foot horizon 

 of shale, mentioned in preceding section, was noted ; here the 

 shale is nearer the top of the bench ; not much importance,
