Abstract
THE diagrams are from the map issued by the New York Commission for the establishing a State reservation at the Falls, based on surveys made in August and September, 1883, by Thomas Evershed, under direction of Silas Seymour, State Engineer and Surveyor. The scale of the diagrams is one half that of the map, which is on a scale of four chains to the inch. To have given all on one diagram with the intervening Goat Island would take up nearly an entire page of NATURE, and if the scale were smaller it would fail to show clearly the distinctive features of the changes in progress. Fig. 1 shows the Canadian or Horse-Shoe Fall, Fig. 2 the Eastern or so-called “American” Fall—a misnomer too deeply rooted in usage to be now supplanted by some more fitting name.
