Abstract
THE Appalachian plateau, at the line between New York and Pennsylvania, is composed of Upper Devonian sandstone and sandy shale, dipping slightly to the south, with summits 2000-2500 feet above tide level.The valleys are rather deep (400-800 feet), and resemble in a general way those of central Pennsylvania, bnt without the N.E.-S.W. parallelism of the latter.The elevations do not take the form of ridges; they consist of broad, clumsy masses, dimillishing in steepness as they ascend, and capped with irregular r01ling plains.The Susquehanna, with its tributary the Ohemung, here forms an important depression, north of wltich the land rises to the height of 2000 feet, again sinking to form the basin of the Finger Lakes.The lakes therefore occn py a section of the northern slope of the Appalachian plateau, which may be defined as extending 100 miles E.-W., from the Genesee Valley to Oazenovia Lake, and about 70 miles N.-S., from Lake Ontario to the curved line of high land just south of the lakes.This line of heights corl'esponds in position with the "Terminal Moraine of the Second Glacial Epoch" of Ohamberlin,* and is defined as a water-parting by the following high points-Bristol, 2254 ft.;
