RESULTS OF SPIRIT LEVELING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK 

FOR THE YEARS 1896 TO 1905, INCLUSIVE.

By S. S. GANNETT and D. H. BALDWIN.

INTKODTJCTION.

The readjustment in 1903 of the precise-level net in the eastern portion of the United 

States by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey necessitated a corresponding 

readjustment of all spirit-level heights of the United States Geological Survey dependent 

thereon. These results will be summarized by States or groups of States and published 

from time to time in bulletin form.

All results of leveling in New York State previously published in appendices to reports 

of the Director of the United States Geolgoical Survey and in Bulletin No. 185, as well as 

levels not previously published, have therefore been readjusted, rearranged by quadrangles, and collected herewith In one publication. Descriptions and elevations of bench 

marks are given in nearly every county, furnishing vertical control for fully eight-tenths 

of the total area of the State.

The field work was done in cooperation with the State of New York, under the direction 

of Mr. H. M. Wilson, geographer, United States Geological Survey, by various topographers and levelmen of the United States Geological Survey, to whom due credit is given 

under the different headings listed in the following pages.

The office work of adjustment was principally done by Mr. D. H. Baldwin, topographer, 

assisted by C. B. Kendall, field assistant, under the supervision of Mr. S. S. Gannett, 

geographer in charge of the triangulation and computing section.

The elevations are arranged according to the degree of accuracy of their determination, 

precise and primary, the former being determined by lines of levels run either in both the 

forward and backward directions or by simultaneous double-rodded lines, using a highgrade instrument and taking special precautions in observations and reductions to correct 

errors and make the line continuously good throughout;, and the latter or primary levels 

being determined with the Y level with precautions taken against the principal errors 

and run mostly in circuits of single lines.

The allowable limit of error observed on the precise, work already done by the Geological 

Survey in this State is represented in feet by 0.03 \/D, and that for the primary work by 

0.05 \/D, in which D is the length of circuit in miles.

The bench marks described in the following lists are -of three general forms. First, a 

circular bronze or aluminum tablet 3^ inches in diameter and one-fourth inch thick, appropriately lettered, having a 3-inch stem cemented into a drill hole, generally in the 

vertical walls of public buildings, bridge abutments, or other substantial masonry 

structures. The second form, employed where masonry or rock is not accessible, consists 

of a hollow wrought-iron post 4 feet in length and 3$ inches in outer diameter, split at the 

bottom and expanded to 12 inches, so as to prevent both the easy subsidence of the post 

and its being maliciously pulled out of the ground. The iron is heavily coated with asphalt, 

and over the top of the post is riveted a bronze tablet similar to that described above.

1
8 SPIRIT LEVELING IN NEW °YOEK, 1896 TO 1905.

The third form (used in 1896 and 1897) was a copper bolt 4 inches long and 1 inch in 

diameter fastened into masonry or solid rock by driving it on a brass wedge placed in the 

bottom of a vertical hole, so that the top of the bolt was horizontal and thus formed the 

bench mark.

The numbers stamped upon the bench marks as described in the following lists represent 

the elevations to the nearest foot above mean sea level, as determined by unadjusted 

levels in the field. In some cases the finally accepted elevations as printed herein differ 

from those submitted as bench-mark numbers by several feet, resulting from the adjustments necessary to close circuits and to those resulting from reduction to mean sea level 

through readjustment of the precise-level net of the United States. This method of numbering bench marks has been adopted where many levelers are working in the same area 

at the same time, as less liable to lead to confusion in identification of bench marks than 

any attempt at serial numbering, and because the bench-mark number at the same time 

gives an approximate statement of elevation. It is assumed that engineers and others 

finding these bench marks so stamped in the. field will communicate with the Director of 

the United States Geological Survey or the State engineer of New York in order to obtain 

the accepted elevation to hundredths or thousandths of a foot.

Any person finding bench marks in the following lists mutilated or destroyed will confer 

a favor by notifying the Director, United States Geological Survey, Washington, D. C.

PRECISE LEVELING.

FRANKLIN COUNTY.

D1CKIKSOK, HQGANSBORO, KILDAHE, LONG LAKE, MEACHAM LAKE, AND ST. REG IS

QUADRANGLES.

The elevations published in the following list are the result of a line of precise leveling 

run north from Tupper Lake to a connection with a primary bench mark of the Deep Waterways Commission at Fort Covington, Franklin County, a 2-inch square cut on east abutment of the Grand Trunk Railway bridge over Salmon River 1 foot from the south and 

east edges. The elevation of this is accepted as 166.452 feet above mean sea level, as 

derived by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey adjustment in 1903 of the precise 

level net. The elevations are corrected in agreement with this, but no error has been distributed in this line.

The double-simultaneous metbpd was employed with a Buff & Berger precise level. The 

leveling was executed by Mr. C. if. Semper, levelman in charge. All standard bench marks 

are referred to the Albany datum and are stamped with the letters "ALBANY" in addition 

to the figures of elevation and year.'

JEFFERSON, LEWIS, AND ONEIDA COUNTIES.

ANTWERP, BOONVILLE, CARTHAGE, CLAYTON, LOWVILLE, PORT LEYDEN, REMSEN, 

THERESA, AND WATERTOWN QUADRANGLES.

The elevations published in the following list are based upon the Greenbush bench mark, 

the elevation accepted for which is 13.863 feet above mean sea level. The initial point 

upon which these levels depend is a bronze tablet set in the coping at the north end of 

retaining wall between lower mill dam and Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg Railroad 

at Remsen, N. Y., stamped " 1172;" the elevation of this bench mark is derived by a readjustment of primary circuits published in the Appendix to the Twentieth Annual Report 

of the Geological Survey, Part I, starting from a bench mark of the precise-level net at 

Utica, and its elevation is accepted as 1,171.464 feet above mean sea level.

A closure was made at Limerick on a temporary bench mark on the south parapet wall 

of stone-arch bridge over Perch River. This bench mark is on a primary circuit tied at 

Clayton to bench mark "A" of the precise line of the Deep Waterways Board, being a copper bolt in the water table at the southwest corner of the Catholic Church. The elevation 

of the latter, as corrected in the 1903 adjustment by the Coast and Geodetic Survey, is 

accepted as 278.815 feet above mean sea level.

The elevation of the Limerick bench mark, as determined by the primary circuit, is 

317.06 feet and by the precise line 317.09 feet above mean sea level. The latter elevation 

is accepted for this bench mark, the closure 0.03 foot being well within the closure error 

of the primary circuit. The list, therefore, as here presented, is the unadjusted mean 

results of double-rodded simultaneous precise leveling. The instrument used was a Buff & 

Berger precise level with an 8-second vial. The leveling was done by Mr. C. H. Semper, 

levelman in charge, during the months of August and September, 1900. All standard 

bench marks dependent on this datum are stamped with the letters "ALBANY,"in addition to figures of elevation and year. The elevations marked are mostly 1 foot low, an 

error caused in the field work by using an erroneous elevation published in the Appendix to 

the Twentieth Annual Report of the Geological Survey, Part I, page 354, for the Remsen 

bench mark, which is low by a clerical error of 1 foot, as noted in Bulletin No. 185.

QUADRANGLES.

The elevations in the following list are the result of a line of precise levels run between 

Dunkirk and Binghamton over the line of the Erie Railroad and between Binghamton and 

Cohoes over the line of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company's Railway. Between 

Dunkirk and Elrnira the line carried eastward was based on the top of the water table of 

Nelson Block, Dunkirk, and all bench marks in this portion of the line are stamped with 

the legend "D 1898" in addition to their figures of elevation, thus referring them to the Dunkirk datum. The section between Cohoes and Elmira was run westward based on the old 

Gristmill bench mark near Albany, and are stamped "A 1898" in addition to the figures of 

elevation, thus referring them to the Albany datum.

The double-rodded, simultaneous, direct and reverse method was used, with a Buff & 

Berger precise level, and the rods used were targeted on one side and self-reading on the 

other. The result of the targeted line in each section was used alone as the adopted line, 

that face having been tested, the line employing the self-reading faces being used as a check. 

The closure at Elmira between the two lines was 0.645 foot, but there is a greater difference 

between the datum of figures stamped on the bench marks on account of an error of 

1 foot in the elevation started with in the east section, which was not detected until work 

was finished. . °

The elevations used for the aforesaid bench marks prior to 1899 were derived by subtracting 1.085 from the elevations then used by the army engineers, and the aforesaid closure 

represents the error between the Geological Survey line and the old data furnished by the 

army engineers, which are now superseded by the recent precise leveling.

The differences of elevation between the various bench marks as shown by the duplicate 

rodded lines was very small, the final divergence being 0.196 foot for the direct line going 

eastward and 0.224 foot for the direct line going westward, making a total closure of the 

target upon the self-reading rod lines -f- 0.028 foot at Schenectady. This divergence is far 

within the limit set for precise leveling.

This line is composed of six elementary lines used in the 1903 adjustment of the preciselevel net by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, which adjustment supersedes its 

former adjustment of 1900, in which this line formed but one link, and the previous local 

adjustment by the Geological Survey deriving elevations for these bench marks published 

in the Appendix to the Twentieth Annual Report of the Geological Survey, Part I. From 

Dunkirk eastward the six main junctions with other level lines are at Salamanca, Hornellsville, Elmira, Binghamton, Bainbridge, and Rexford Feeder Bridge (Schenectady).

The corrected elevation for the Nelson Block bench mark is now accepted as 588.866 feet 

above mean sea level, and the unadjusted line raised to accord with the latter has now been 

corrected at the other junctions aforesaid, respectively, by the following amounts: -(-0.250, 

+ 0.286, + 0.236, + 0.232, +0.161 and 0.005; the corresponding distances from Dunkirk 

being 44.1, 129.3, 187.7, 246.3, 283.6, and 381.8 miles. The algebraic difference betweenconsecutive figures of the first or second lines is the amount distributed or the distance 

between those points, respectively.

The leveling was done by Mr. E. L. McNair (now topographer) in the field season of 1898.

The elevations in the following list are the result of a line of precise leveling over the 

following route. A small circuit was first run in Utica, recovering various bench marks 

of other level lines, and closed with an error of 0.01 foot in a total distance of 4.0 

miles of double-rodded, direct and reverse, simultaneous lines. The main line thence 

continues south from Lock No. 46 to a connection near .Sidney, or 2.7 miles east of Bainbridge, with the precise-level line run in 1899 by Mr. E. L. McNair, topographer, the results 

of which were published in the Appendix to the Twentieth Annual Report of the Geological 

Survey, Part I, and are republished in this bulletin as cprrected by the 1903 adjustment.

Bull. 281 06 2
18. SPIRIT LEVELING IN NEW YORK, 1896 TO 1905.

Continuing thence south a final connection was made 0.7 mile north of Hancock to the 

precise-level line run in 1900 by Mi1 . C. H. Semper, levelman, the results of which appear 

in this bulletin. Thus are formed two elementary lines of the precise-level net, 63.6 miles 

and 43.9 miles, respectively, with a total divergence in each section of only 0.02 foot 

between the direct and reverse simultaneous lines, though the maximum local divergence 

amounted to 0.04 foot in a stretch of 5 miles and 0.05 foot in another of 7 miles.

.The adjustment of the precise-level net made in the spring of 1903 by the United States 

Coast and Geodetic Survey, in which .these lines became factors, resulted in increasing the 

elevation by the unadjusted line 0.119 foot at Sidney with respect to Utica, and 0.078 foot 

at Hancock with respect to Sidney. The elevations here listed result from said adjustment.

A Buff & Berger precise level was used with a 4-inch second vial, and the double-simultaneous method. The leveling was done during part of July, August, and September, 1901, 

by Mr. D. H. Baldwin, topographer in charge. All standard bench marks are stamped 

with the letters "ALBANY" in addition to the figures of elevation and year.

The elevations in the following list are the result of a line of precise levels run from 

Binghamton to Poughkeepsie. The two sections of this line, Binghamton to Hancock 

and Hancock to Poughkeepsie, form links in the net of precise leveling 49 and 138 miles, 

respectively, in length. The result of the 1903 adjustment was to increase the elevation 

at Hancock with respect to Binghamton 0.042 foot and to increase the elevation at''Poughkeepsie with respect to Hancock 0.423 foot. The double-simultaneous method was 

employed, with a Buff & Berger precise level and an 8-second vial. The Pennsylvania 

portions of this line will be published under Pennsylvania.

The leveling was done during June, July, and August, 1900, by Mr. C. H. Semper, levelman. The standard bench marks are referred to the Albany datum and are stamped 

with the letters "ALBANY" in addition to the figures of elevation.

QUADRANGLES.

The elevations in the following list are the result of a line of precise leveling, based upon 

the Rochester datum connecting the Lake Survey gage bench mark at Charlotte with the 

State engineer's level line of 1901 at Rochester and continued south to a final connection 

at Hornellsville with the precise-level line run by Mr. E. L. McNair, topographer, in 1899.

This line forms an element in the precise-level net and a factor in the 1903 adjustment 

of the same made by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. The amount of correction this line received by this adjustment is 0.084 foot in a total distance of 88.4 miles, 

the original elevation at Hornellsville by this line being lowered with respect to Charlotte. 

The total divergence of the direct and reverse, simultaneous rodded linos is 0.096 foot.

The double-simultaneous method was employed, with a BufF & Berger precise level 

and a 4-second vial. The leveling was done during part, of September, 1901, and part of
PRECISE LEVELING. 23

August and September, 1902, by Mr. D. H. Baldwin, topographer in cbarge. All standard

HKDHOUSK AND SALAMANCA QUADllANtiLES..

The elevations in the following list are the New York portion of the result of two independent double-simultaneous lines of precise leveling run in opposite directions between 

Salamanca, N. Y., and Irvineton, Pa.

The total divergence between the two lines was 0.043 foot, and the divergence in the 

rerun line of 1902 alone was 0.011 foot. The total correction to the mean line by the 

latest adjustment is 0.128 foot in the total distance of 48.8 miles, increasing the elevation 

at Irvineton with respect to Salamanca, the correction to the 1902 line alone being 0.085 

foot. A Buff & Berger precise level was employed in each case, though with an 8-second 

vial in first line and a 4-second vial in later line. The leveling on the forward line was 

clone in 1899 by Mr. E. L. McNair, topographer, and on the backward line in 1902 by Mr. 

D. H. BaJdwin, topographer. The standard bench marks are referred to the Dunkirk 

datum and are stamped with the letters "DUNKIRK" in addition to the figures of elevation and year 1899.

CHAUTAUQUA AND ERIE COUNTIES.

BUFFALO, niJXKJKK, KI»EN, AND SILVKIt UllKKK QUADKANtiLKS.

The elevations in the following list are the result of a line of precise levels connecting 

army engineers' bench marks at Buffalo and Dunkirk which were formerly established from 

lake gaging. This line is an element in the precise-level net and became a factor in the 

adjustment made by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey in the spring of 1903. 

In accord with this adjustment a correction of 0.217 foot has been distributed proportional 

to the distance throughout this line to the unadjusted results, raising the elevation at Dunkirk 0.217 foot with respect to Buffalo. The unadjusted results close low 0.034 foot at 

Dunkirk upon the latest unadjusted water levels from figures in part given by the War 

Department corrected to a common elevation at Buffalo. The water-level connection was 

derived by comparisons made between Buffalo and Erie and between Erie and Dunkirk. 

The elevation at Dunkirk, upon the old army engineers' datum, was obtained from a local 

office several years ago and no new records were obtainable, but the relative heights of the 

Buffalo and Erie bench marks have been more correctly determined by addition of later 

gage records..

The water leveling to the Dunkirk bench mark has not entered as a factor in the adjustment, since its weight was in doubt; there has thus been 0.184 foot correction made to the 

water leveling-between Buffalo and Dunkirk by the adjustment.

The double-simultaneous method was employed with a Buff & Berger precise level and a 

4-second vial. The total length of this double-rodded line is 40.87 miles, and the total 

divergence,. 0.101 foot. The leveling was done during part of July and August, 1902, by 

Mr. D. H. Baldwin, topographer in charge. All standard bench marks dependent on this 

datum are stamped with the letters "ROCHESTER" in addition to the figures'of elevation 

and year.

The elevations in the following list result from a readjustment of leveling previously 

reported upon in the Appendixes to the Eighteenth, Twentieth, and Twenty-first Annual 

Reports. The nearest precise-level elevation is at North Creek.

The leveling on most of Indian Lake and Thirteenth Lake quadrangles was done in 1896 

under the direction of Mr W. H. Lovell, topographer, by Mr. Clark Brown, levelman: the 

remainder on these and on the other quadrangles was done in 1896 under the direction of 

Mi'- W. M. Beaman, topographer, by Mr. A. F. Krause, ievelman, except on line to establish

The elevations in the following list are based upon the heights of adjoining bench marks 

as published in this bulletin in accordance with the 1903 adjustment. The leveling on 

Stony Creek quadrangle was done partly in 1896 under the direction of Mr. W. H. Lovell, 

topographer, by Mr. Clark Brown, levelman; and partly in 1904 under the direction of Mr. 

Glenn S. Smith, topographer, by Mr. L. E. Tucker, levelman. The leveling on Lake Pleasant quadrangle -was begun in 1896 under Mr. Lovell by Mr. Brown, extended in 1898 under 

Mr. A. M. Walker, topographer, by Mr. W. W. Gilbert, levelman, and completed in 1904 by 

Mr. Tucker, levelman, under Mr. Smith. Standard bench marks latest established are

The elevations in the following list are based upon the Gristmill bench mark near Albany, 

the elevation of which is now accepted as 13.863 feet above mean sea level. These elevations result from a joint adjustment with older work to accord with the 1903 adjustment.

The leveling on the Fonda quardrangles was done in 1896 under the direction of Mr. 

W. H. Lovell, topographer, by Mr. A. F. Krause, levelman; that on the Gloversville quadrangle was done under the direction of Mr. Lovell, partly in 1900 by Mr. William Kelley, 

levelman, and partly in 1896 by Messrs. Krause and Brown, levehnen; that on the Lassellsville quadrangle was done in 1901 under the direction of Mr. A. C. Roberts, topographev, 

by Mr. Kelley, and that on the Piseco quadrangle was done partly in 1898 under Mr. A. M. 

Walker, topographer, by Mr. C. H. Semper, levelman, and in 1902 under the direction of 

Mr. J. H. Jennings, topographer, by Mr. J. B. Maguire, levelman. All standard bench 

marks dependent on this datum are stamped with the letters "ALBANY" in addition to 

figures of elevation.

- aCredit is due Mr. Wallace C. Johnson, Niagara Falls, N. Y., for a 10-foot correction made to this

The elevations published in the following list are based upon the latest adjustment 

heights of permanent bench marks established in the course, of precise leveling under the 

United States Board of Engineers on Deep Waterways, at Clayton, Fishers Landing, Alexandria Bay, and Chippeway village, in the vicinity of Cape Vincent. The leveling was done 

in 1900 under the general direction of Mr. W. H. Lovell, topographer, by Mr. Wm. Kelley, 

levelman. The standard bench marks are stamped with the letters "CAPE VINCENT" in 

addition to figures of elevation which accord with the elevations as published by the board 

in 1903; the latter are approximately 1 foot higher than the accepted elevations herewith 

published.

Tlie elevations in the following list are based upon the Gristmill bench mark, the elevation of which is accepted as 13.863' feet above mean sea level. The initial points upon 

which this group of levels depends are bench marks along the precise-level line Remsen 

to Limerick herein reported, to which refer for additional elevations on Boouville, Port 

Leyden, and Carthage quadrangles, and a Deep Waterways bench mark at Rome recovered by the Army Engineers' precise-level line of 1902.

The leveling on Port Leyden quadrangle was done partly in 1902 under the direction of 

Mr. J. II. Jennings by Mr. J. B. Maguire, levelman, but mostly in 1905 under the direction 

of Mr. J. I. Gayetty, assistant topographer, by Mr. R. P. Thompson, levelman;. the woi'k 

on the remainder of these quadrangles was done under the direction of Mr. J. H. Jennings 

as follows: On the Boonville quadrangle, in 1901, by Mr. A. S. Havens, levelman; on the 

Carthage, Highmarket, Orwell, Pulaski, and Taberg quadrangles, in 1902, by Mr. J. B. 

Maguire, levelman; on the Mexico and the part of the Kasoag quadrangle lying in Oswego 

County, in 1903, by Messrs. G. M. Dimmick and Geo. Seidel, levclmen; and the leveling 

in Oneida County on the Kasoag quadrangle, in 1904, by Mr. L. E. Tucker. The standairt 

bench marks are stamped mostly with the letters "ALBANY" in addition to the figures of 

elevation, and in some cases the year. Those set in 1905 on Port Leyden quadrangle were 

stamped "ADJ 1903."

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 quadrangles, 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 quadrangle 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 addition to the figures of elevation.

AUBURN, mtY»K\, JNOltAVIA, OWKUO, SKAKEATKLKS, ANirWAVKKLY QUADRANGLES.

The elevations in the following list result from a readjustment of leveling reported upon 

in- the Appendixes to the Eighteenth and Twentieth Annual Reports of the Director, 

United States Geological Survey, with additional work on Owego quadrangle. Leveling 

done by the Lehigh Valley .Railroad was employed extensively in the readjustment. For 

additional elevations on Owego and Wavorly quadrangles see " Precise leveling."

The leveling on Auburn, Skaneateles, and Moravia quadrangles was done in 1896 under 

the direction of Mr. J. H. Jennings, topographer, mostly by Mr. A. B. Pomme, levclman; 

that on Waverly a^id Drydeh and part of Owego quadrangles was done in 1898 under the 

direction of Mr. R. D. Cummin, topographer, by Mr. W. W. Gilbert, levclman, and the 

 remainder on the Owego quadrangle was done in 1900 under the direction .of Mr. Jennings 

by Mr. W. E. Green, levclman. The standard bench marks on Waverly, Dryden, and 

Owego quadrangles are stamped "ALBANY" or "A" in addition to figures of elevation, 

mostly 1 foot too low. Those set in 1896 have no datum letter and the elevations stamped 

are mostly 2 feet too high on Auburn and Moravia quadrangles and 3 feet too high on . 

Skaneateles quadrangle, but the corrected elevations given on the latter quadrangle are 

possibly 1 foot low, though the nearest of two connections which differed by that amount 

was taken.

The elevations in the following list are the result of the readjustment of primary levels 

previously reported in Appendixes to the Twentieth and Twenty-first Annual Reports of 

the Director, United States Geological Survey. The leveling was done as follows: On 

Rochester, Maccclon, and Palmyra quadrangles and part of Clyde quadrangle under Mr. J. H. 

Wheat, topographer, in 1898, and the remainder on the Clyde quadrangle under Mr. J. H. 

Jointings, topographer, in 1899; on Rochester quadrangle, by Mr. C. H. Semper, levelman, and on the other quadrangles by Messrs. Semper and D. E. Baxter, levelmen. The 

leveling on Oswego, Weedsport, and Baldwinsville quadrangles was done in 1898 under 

Mr. E. B. Clark, topographer, by Mr. Baxter, and that on Fulton quadrangle was done 

also in 1898, under Mr. Clark, by Messrs. Semper and Baxter. The standard bench marks 

are stamped mostly "OSWEGO" in full or abbreviated, in addition to figures of elevation, 

which are mostly 1 foot low. '

. The elevations in the following list result from a readjustment of leveling reported in 

the Appendixes to the Eighteenth and Twentieth Annual Reports of the Director, United 

States Geological Survey. For additional elevations on these quadrangles refer to " Preciselevel line Dunkirk to Albany." The leveling on Olean and Belmont quadrangles was done 

in 1896 under the direction of Mr. F. Sutton, topographer; that on Salamanca quadrangle 

was done in 1897 undev the direction of Mr. J. H. Jennings, topographer, both by Mr. E. L. 

McNair, topographer. The standard bench marks on Olean and Belmont quadrangles are 

stamped with figures trf elevation, mostly 7 feet too great, and without datum,letters, and 

those on Salamanca quadrangle were stamped with letter "S," and figures of elevation 5 

feet too great. Tbm errors are due to the erroneous railroad datums used when field 

work was done.

The elevations in the following list are. based upon an aluminum tablet in the water 

table of St. Mary's Home and School at Dunkirk, the elevation of which is now accepted 

as 598.937 feet above mean sea level. A portion of the work here given was previously 

reported in the Appendix to the Twentieth Annual Report of the Director United States 

Geological Survey, pages 310-313. For additional elevations on Cherry Creek and Rcdhouse 

quadrangles see " Precise leveling."

The leveling on Dunkirk, Cherry Creek, and Westfield quadrangles was done in 1898 

under the direction of Mr. Frank Sutton, topographer, by Mr. E. L. Faison, levelman; 

that on Clymer, Chautauqua, and most of Jamestown quadrangles was done in 1902 under 

the direction of Mr. A. C. Roberts, topographer, by Mr. G. M. Dimmick, levelman, except 

part on Chautauqua quadrangle done by Mr. Wm. Kelley, levelman; and work on Redhouse and the remainder on Chautauqua quadrangle was done in 1903 under the direction 

of Mr. W. H. Lovell, topographer, by Mr. Geo. .Seidel, levelman. All standard bench 

marks are stamped with "D" or "DUNKIRK" in addition to figures of elevation.
