[Well begun January 1, 1903; completed February 22, 1903. Authority, Fred Stahl, driller. No 
samples. Geologic correlations by F. B. Weeks.] 
This well gives a section at a small gas pool, the Getzville, in Erie County. The rocks | 
penetrated belong to the Silurian system and .the Lockport limestone, Rochester shale j 
and Medina sandstone and shale are represented.

1195. WVll near Saratoga Springs, Saratoga County. 
[Well begun and completed in 1905. Authority, E. J. Saunders, driller. Samples preserved] 
compiled from samples by S. Sanford. Geologic correlations by F. B. Weeks.] 
The Saratoga springs occur along fault fissures and, owing to the faults and the lacl 
outcrops, the geology of the district has not been worked out in detail. The rocks p< 
trated by this well are thought to include the Utica shale and Trenton limestone (0) 
vician) to 420 feet and the Beekmantown limestone (late Cambrian) below.
