comparatively steep slope of the escarpment which faces the 
lake at that place. 
In 1893 Mr. Leverett carried his studies farther east along 
the lake shore into western JMew York.* Along the steep 
coast as far as Westfield, N. Y., the Euclid moraine runs in 
an almost even line only a few miles back from the lake shore. 
East of Westfield, however, it runs farther inland past the 
village of Dayton and thence northeast to a point about 30 
miles southeast of Buffalo, where it joins an interlobate mo- 
raine, which trends north and south. The next member of the 
series starts from the interlobate west of Attica and runs south- 
west to Gowanda, where it changes to a bowlder belt running 
west as far as Forestville and apparently fading in that direc- 
tion into the old lake bed. This may be called the Gowanda 
moraine. 
Starting from the interlobate a few miles farther north is 
another moraine which runs west-southwest to Hamburg, 
where it, too, fades away at the old lake level. This is called 
the Hamburg moraine. Farther north Mr, Leverett found 
still another running a short distance west towards Buffalo 
from the interlobate and fading out near Alden, by which name 
it is designated. 
The next moraine of the series trends northwest and south- 
east passing just north of Lockport and Batavia. This Mr. 
Leverett calls the Lockport moraine. Towards the northwest 
it descends over the Niagara escarpment and runs thence as a 
bowlder belt to the shore of lake Ontario into the basin of 
W'hich it appears to pass. 
Th^ next and last one of the series so far made out runs 
west from Rochester to Albion and probably also descends 
into the lake bed. This moraine has since been identified by 
Prof. H. L. Fairchild with the Pinnacle hills just south of 
Rochester. It is called the Albion moraine. 
These seven, moraines were made during the recession of 
the Erie-Ontario lobe of the ice-sheet and it is believed that 
the first five of them are the precise correlatives of a similar 
series found by the writer in Michigan and Ontario in 1895, 
1896 and 1897.
