The elevations in the following list result from a readjustment of leveling reported upon 
in the Appendixes to the Nineteenth and Twenty-first Annual Reports of the Director of 
the United States Geological Survey, with a few additional elevations. 
The leveling was done as follows: On Tully and most of Syracuse and Chittenango quad- 
rangles, in 1897, under Mr. C. C. Bassett, topographer, by Mr. Clark Brown, levelman; the 
remainder on north edge of Syracuse and Chittenango quadrangles was done in 1902 under 
Mr. Jennings, topographer, by Mr. J. B. Maguire, levelman; the leveling on Cazenovia 
quadrangle was done in 1897 under Mr. A. M. Walker, topographer, by Mr. Brown; that on 
Morrisville quadrangle was done partly in 1898 under Mr. Jennings, by Mr. Brown, partly 
in 1899 under Mr. Walker by Messrs. W.W.Gilbert and A. W.Gill, levelmen, and completed 
in 1904 under Mr. Jennings by Mr. G. M. Dimmick, levelman; and that on Oneida quad- 
rangle was done under Mr. Walker by Messrs. Gilbert and Gill. The standard bench marks 
set prior to 1898 were stamped "S," referring to Syracuse, with figures of elevation 1 foot 
too low, while those set later were referred to Albany and stamped " ALBANY," in addi- 
tion to the figures of elevation.
