P. LESLEY. ^r Contributions to the Physical Geography of the United States, by Charles Allen, Assistant in charge of the Collection and Collation of Railroad and other Levels for the Second Geolog- ical Survey of Pennsylvania. By J. P. Lesley. (Bead before tlie American Philosophical Society, January 15, 1876.) In presenting to the attention of the members Mr. Allen's list of Pennsylvania levels, I have only to say that the pro- gress of physical geography in the United States has been so rapid, of late years, as to attract the attention of the Scien- tific world at home and abroad, and that its connection with the progress of geological science is so intimate, that work- ing geologists hail with lively pleasure the publication of all hypsometrical records of a genuine kind, whether old or new. For want of government bureaus of statistics the greater part of such records have been irrecoverably lost. Of the tentative work of our railway, canal, slackwater and turnpike companies, done between 1830 and 1860, scarcely a trace remains ; although, if its records could be recovered and printed, they would furnish copy for hundreds of volumes. Since 1860 the destruction has not been so com- plete, but has been nevertheless very great. There are re- cent important surveys of which no records can be found, even in the offices of the companies for whom they were made. ^ This important subject has received well-deserved atten- tion at the hands of the chiefs of the United States Explor- ing Expeditions, who are mapping the interior of the Conti- nent. But some efficient organization is required for the preservation and publication of levels in the States lying between the Atlantic and the Mississippi. The State Geologists of Ohio and North Carolina, also, have published valuable hypsometric tables. A beginning has now been made in Pennsylvania ; and the following pages contain the records of the height above some assumed datum, reduced to tide level, of all stations on railways in the State, and in its immediate vicinity. These records have mostly been obtained by personal examination of the profiles preserved at the offices ; and in some cases, by letter, from superintendents and engineers. The greatest interest in the Collection has been manifested by members of the profession of Civil Engineering to whom application has been made ; and in some instances, where records were wanting, new levelings have been ordered and the results transmitted. Short headings are prefixed to the records, stating place, date and authority ; and foot notes appended to them, stating difficulties of adjustment, incongruities, or doubts. That a work of this nature should have the advantage of first publication in the transactions of the oldest Scientific Society of America, whose first President was Benjamin Franklin, and whose hall stands side by side with the ancient Capitol of the United States, is my reason for asking that this first systematic attempt on a large scale to render permanent and useful to all engineers and surveyors the scattered and perishable records of heights above sea- level of several thousand points in our valleys and on our mountains should be accepted by the Society. It must be understood, however, that these lists require thorough re-examination and correction before they can be adopted as constants of science for the future. There are considerable difficulties yet to be encountered by such as undertake to harmonise the data of our railway surveys. Indeed, considering the imperfect way in which such surveys are necessarily made, — the accumulation of errors of instru- mentation and personal equation along every long spirit- level line, — the uncertainty even of the tide-level datum at eveiw head of tide, — the frequent lack of notes stating whether railway levels cross each other on grade, or not, — and the not uncommon fact that, after location-surveys have been made, the road-beds have been tempered up, or down, to suit convenience, and no record of the fact been kept, ex- cept in the memory of some division engineer no longer in the employ of the Company, — it is surprising that the errors of terminal or crossing adjustment are so tew and small. But to render the record perfect all such errors, however tew and small, must be eliminated; and this can only be accomplished by a zealous interest taken in the subject- by resident engineers ; who are therefore earnestly requested to co-operate to this end. Geologists are dependent for the goodness of their field- work on accurate base-line levels. And it is to be hoped that a complete exhibition of the surface contour of Penn- sylvania will sooner or later be obtained from a collation of the thousands of transit-lines and barometer-lines now in progress in all the districts occupied by the Assistant Geolo- gists of the Survey. All their lines of levels are, however, based on the railroad records, and the publication of these in a corrected form is a necessary preliminary step. If movements are still taking place in the crust of the earth, — and the frequent occurrence of slight earthquake shocks, in all the States of the Union, seems to speak in favor of the supposition, — physical philosophers are peculiarly interested in an early establishment of a universal hypso- metrical record. From this point of view, also, it would seem especially germain to the origin and history of the American Philosophical Society to initiate such a record. The net-work of Surveys which cover Pennsylvania may be divided into nine systems : 1. The Pennsylvania Central east and west system, from Trenton through Philadelphia, Harrisburg, Altoona, Pitts- burgh, to Steubenville, and Youngstown, in Ohio ; with numerous longer or shorter side branches. 2. The Reading Railroad northwest and southeast system, with many short branches in the Schuylkill Anthracite Field, and through the country in front of it between the Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers. It has been extended also to the waters of the Upper Susquehanna, and will penetrate into New York State. 3. The North Pennsylvania north and south system, with numerous branches in the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Anthra- cite Fields, in connection with the two Lehigh Valley Rail- roads, extending into the State of New York. 4. The Northern Central north and south system, extend- ing from Baltimore, in Maryland, to Elmira, in New York, with several short branches. 5. The Philadelphia and Erie northwest system, with important branches crossing to the Alleghany River, and into the State of New York. 6. The Alleghany River north and south system, from Pittsburgh to the Oil Region, and Buffalo in New York. 7. The Baltimore and Ohio system, with its Connellsville branch to Pittsburgh, and its short coal and coke branch. 8. The Beaver River system, north and south, along the western margin of the State. 9. The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore south- west system. The following tables are arranged in the above order, and will explain themselves \ I. The Pennsylvania R. R. System. I. Pennsylvania, Bailroad. Note. — The elevations at the various stations, on the Pennsylvania Rail- road, were copied from the Engineers' notes, by permission of Mr. W. H. Wil- son, its Consulting Engineer. The datum, or base of levels, is ordinary high-water in Schuylkill River. This datum, according to Mr. James T. Gardener's determination, is 6.913 feet* above mean surface of the Atlantic Ocean, Tlxese 7 feet are added in the second column. Decimal parts of a foot do not occur in these lists.

To this 614' are added, +7', to reduce all to mean Atlantic Ocean level. This road has three coal branches up the three streams which drain the Broad Top Coal Region. It originally stopped at Everett; but has been con- tinued to Bedford and Bridgeport under the name of the Bedford and Bridge- port Railroad. Table IX. The elevations on the Bedford and Bridgeport R. R. were furnished by Mr. S. M. Prevost, Superintendent of the Bedford Division of the Pennsylvania R. R. The datum 0 of this road was at grade of the Pennsylvania R. R at Hunting- don; which Mr Prevost called 610; while Mr. Wilson calls it 614. The differ- ence of 4 feet has therefore, in the 2d column, been added to Mr. Prevost's figures, to make them agree with Mr. Wilson's figures, along the main line. The regular 7 feet addition has also been made in the second column to reduce to mean Atlantic Ocean level. STATIONS. Huntingdon McConnellstown. . . .

Starr, Esq., Engineer of P. & E. R. R., of a point in abutment of Chilesquaque Bridge (of P. & E. R. R.), and this agrees so closely with the level of tide, as stated in printed table of Pennsyl- vania R. R. Co , of Tyrone City, that I am inclined to rely upon the levels I now enclose." The first column, then, gives the figures of Mr. Leuffer. The second column has 7 feet added to Mr. Leuffer's figures, on the supposi- tion that his datum is Pennsylvania R.

The levels on the Butler Branch Extension of the West Penn R. R. were fur- nished by Mr. Antes Snyder, Engineer, Springdale, Allegheny County, Pa. There is aryunexplained difference of 29.5 feet between the Butler Branch R. R. grade and the West Penn R. R. grade at Freeport, where they ought to be the same. Another list was obtained from Mr. J. M. C. Creighton, differing very slightly from Mr. Snyder's ; but still leaving an unexplained difference of 27 feet at Free- port. The second column in the first table gives Mr. Snyder's levels let down 29% feet, and in the second table Mr. Creighton's levels let down 27 feet. The third column has seven feet added to reduce to mean Atlantic Ocean Level. The datum of both tables is called " Mid Tide" at Philadelphia, which would require an addition of only 3.349 feet (instead of 7) to his original figures. See foot note on page 64. But this "Mid-Tide" maybe a mistake for the "Mean High Tide" of the Pennsylvania R. R. Company's datum and is so taken. STATIONS. Mid Tide Philada. 2d Column. Ocean Level.

B. Levels on the Allegheny Valley R. R., from Kittaning to Oil City, were copied from notes in possession of Mr. Wainwright, Assistant Engineer, Engineer's Office, Allegheny Valley R. R., Pittsburgh, Pa. This portion of the road was leveled during the summer of 1875. The eleva- tion at Kittaning was assumed to be 500' above tide. The difference between the true elevation and the elevation assumed at the Red Bank intersection of the Bennett's Branch R. R. with the main line, was made to be 284'. This must be incorrect. Great difficulty has been experienced in connecting the levels of this road with those of others in Northwestern Pennsylvania, and no reliance can be placed upon their exactness. They are evidently too low, and the error seems to be in the 284' feet difference; and therefore in the Bennett's Branch Exten- sion Table, CCCII. For instance, the level at Parker's City is, by this Allegheny Valley R. R. Ta- ble, 579.2 + 284 = 863'; whereas, Mr. Lucas makes it 909', or 46 feet higher. See Sec- tion inCarll's Report of Progress, 1874. Again, at Franklin this Table gives 678.5 + 284 = 963'; whereas, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern (Franklin Division) Table CCCLXII makes it 444.06 (+ Lake Erie) + 573 = 1017', or 54 feet higher. Again, at Oil City this Table gives 983'; whereas Oil Creek and Allegheny Valley Rl R. (CCCIV) gives 995', or 12' higher. And the same in CCCLXXXVII by the Franklin Branch of Atlantic and Great Western. The levels of points from Pittsburgh up to Kittaning could not he obtained by any efforts. There seem to be no records, profiles or notes of the levels of this part of the line. Pittsburgh is 745' by Table I; Gardner makes it 746', and so does Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago R.

The levels on the Bennett's Branch Extension, A. V. R. R., were copied from the profile in the office of the A. V. R. R. at Pittsburgh, Pa., through kindness of Mr. H. Blackstone, Chief Engineer. 97 Datum : Tide water at Philadelphia. This datum, however.is dependent upon the level of the eastern terminus or Driftwood Junction with the Phil. & Erie R. R. But this is known to be too low, and therefore, the levels of the whole line are too low, and carry down with them those of the Allegheny Valley Main Line, as stated in notes, to Table CCCI. Mr. Burgin's original level on the P. & E.R. R. at Driftwood was 788'. This Mr. Wilson took for his datum level in the surveys of the Bennett's Branch Exten- sion R. R. across to the Allegheny Valley R. R. Mr. Wilson's levels are given in column 1. On the profile of the P. & E. R. R. used in Table CCXVI, the level of the point of junction is called 795 (7 feet higher). Column 2 makes this first correction, which helps to lift the Allegheny Valley levels a little, but not near enough. Column 3 is left blank for a future correction, when the levels of the P. & E. R. R. are lifted, as they must be ; for, although they start about right at Sun- bury, they are already about 20 feet too low at Williamsport by the Catawissa R. R. (LXV), and by the Northern Central R. R. (CC) lists of levels; and feet too low at Lock Haven by the Pennsylvania R. R. (XV) branch lists. At Em- porium also they are 18 feet lower than the Buffalo, N. Y. & Phil. Railroad (CCXIX). But even this 20 feet added to the previous 7' = 27' will not suffice to lift the west end of this Bennett's Br. Ext. R. R. high enough to cancel the difference at Franklin and Oil City. It is probable, however, that the whole residual error lies on the Allegheny Valley R. R. line. STATIONS. Above Tide. Above Tide. Corrected Tide. Ocean Level.

The bridge rises 8' going east, and there is a further rise from the end of the bridge to the A. V. R. R. depot of 1.98', as ascertained by Mr. J. F. Carll, which will make the datum of P. & K. C. R.
