No. VI. 



Table of Ascents and Descents from Little Sodus Bay on Lake 

 Ontario, to Owego on the Susquehanna, along Cayuga Lake 

 and the valley of Owego Creek. 



The elevation of Owego, according to table No. 2, is 804 feet, 

 which differs eight feet from that given in the above table. This 

 small discrepency is owing to the circumstance of the elevations 

 in these two tables being the results of surveys entirely indepen- 

 dent of each other, and which intersect at Owego, after a circuit 

 from the Hudson, of more than 300 miles. Table No. 2, also 

 intersects with No. 4, at Binghamton, andwith No. 7, at New- 

 town. At the former place the difference was only the fraction of 

 a foot, and at the latter less than two feet. These facts show 

 with what precision measurements of this kind can be made, and 

 what reliance may be placed on the correctness of the elevations 

 of the several points given in these tables.
