portion of the western townships of Snyder county, along the railroad. The integrity of both lines as a whole was maintained, however, in this manner; and the river line west of Lewistown was made to conform as far as possible to the Mifflin county maps, inasmuch as the railroad line was very indefinitely located. Upon the scale used, however, the general position of places cannot be far wrong.

My thanks are due the following gentlemen for information and assistance kindly rendered during the progress of the survey:
Messrs. R. H. Lee and R. H. Lee, Jr., of Logan; Messrs. Horace Culbertson, W. M. Phillips, of Lewistown; Hon. W. P. Stevenson, of McVeytown; G. R. Jacobs and W. H. Groninger, of Mifflintown; Hon. J. C. Bucher, of Lewisburg; Dr. Levi P. Rook, of Winfield; Mr. A. C. Simpson, of Selinsgrove; Dr. A. M. Smith, of Adamsburg; Mr. James M. Middelsworth, of Troxellville; Mr. Levi Kepler, of Mt. Pleasant Mills; Mr. John Swartzell, of Siglerville, and Mr. A. K. Gift, of Middleburg; and to the Pennsylvania railroad, Northern Central railroad, and Philadelphia and Reading railroad companies.
Thanking yon very much for the courteous assistance you have always rendered me in connection with this report,
I am, very respectfully, yours,
