Oouesus creek. Silver lake is another small body of water in the 

 Genesee basin and tributary to the river by the Silver lake outlet. 

 Canaseraga creek joins Genesee river near Mount Morris. From 

 Dansville to its mouth, a distance of 10 miles, this creek flows 

 through a broad alluvial valley with very little fall. Above Dans- 

 ville the stream is more rapid, but the comparatively small, de- 

 forested catchment area limits its value for water power. Honeoye 

 creek, which is the outlet of Honeoye, Canadice and Hemlock 

 lakes, furnishes some water power. There are also several mills 

 on the outlet of Conesus lake. 



Formerly there were a number of mills on the Silver lake out- 

 let, but changed business conditions have led to their decay. The 

 other tributaries of the Genesee have little significance as mill 

 streams. It appears, then, that the two places of importance on 

 Genesee river, from the water-power point of view, are Portage 

 and Kochester. 



The following table gives the detail of the several subdivisions 

 of the catchment area of Genesee river :
