This samemethod of treatment has been followed in each one of the succeedingdiagrams. From a study of this diagram it is seen, first, that the Lafayette forma-tion was evidently developed as a plain surface, gently sloping towardthe surrounding waters. In order to bring out this point more clearly,it is only necessary to examine the average slopes when it will be ob-served that none of them exceed 17 feet per mile, one of them sinks tozero and the majority fall between 1 and 8 feet. The 17-foot slope islocated at the head of the Bay between Woocllawn and Elk Keck. In thisregion two factors combine to increase the average slope. The first isthat with one exception t
