Klem and Mrs John Krohn. It is here 70 to 75 feet over the lower 

 Warren at Elma Center station. Beyond an embayment on the 

 east, reaching up the hollow followed by the Pennsylvania Rail- 

 road, it again forms a curve about the north side of another hill, 

 and crosses the road north of three-corners, on the brow of the hill 

 under the house of Mrs Clark. The beach altitude here is 905 feet, 

 or 70 feet over the lower Warren bars at Steitz corners, 1 mile north. 

 These latest formed fragments of the Whittlesey beach are incon- 

 spicuous bars and would not be seen without search, but they can 

 be readily found by their relationship in altitude to the Warren. 



It is an important and interesting fact that the vertical interval 

 of about 70 feet between the lower Warren and the Whittlesey re- 

 mains the same throughout the whole extent of the Whittlesey 

 shore in New York. 



These are the most easterly features which can with confidence 

 be attributed to Whittlesey waters. A good example of a glacial 

 outwash gravel plain 1 mile east of Marilla, at 915 feet is perhaps 

 not too high for the Whittlesey plane. We here take our leave 

 of the expiring Lake Whittlesey. 



In this section the Warren shore features become strong and 

 continuous. The village of Spring Brook lies on the Warren 

 beach. About 1 mile east of Spring Brook the higher Warren holds 

 the Tillou cemetery on the south side of the road, while on the 

 north side the conspicuous inferior Warren is 12 feet lower. East- 

 ward where the road crosses a creek the lower Warren is a strong 

 bar 40 rods north of the road, while east of the gully the road is 

 on the higher Warren. The two strong bars continue northeast- 

 ward in excellent form to Elma Center Station, where they divide 

 to make a close set series of gravel ridges, crosscut by the railroad. 

 The station lies in the cut in the line of the lowest (north) bar, 

 which is 835 feet altitude, taking the railroad as 824 feet. The 

 highest bar of the series is only 8 to 10 feet higher, but a cliff shows 

 higher wave-work. 



Northeast, past the Lutheran . church and cemetery, to Steitz 

 corners (or Bullis corners), a distance of nearly 2 miles, the Warren 

 beach is an excellent display of broad bars of fine gravel. At the 

 church the beach includes four bars in a width of i mile, and is 

 essentially a gravel plain with rolling surface. At Steitz 

 corners the series of several bars lie on the delta built in lake 

 Warren by Buffalo creek. West of the corners the delta plain has 

 an abrupt front 20 feet high, facing the low swampy lake bottom 

 plain. The altitude of the lower Warren at Steitz corners is 835 

 feet.
