WYOMING COUNTY, taken from Genesee in 1841, is centrally distant 250 miles west from the city of Albany; it is bounded on the north by Genesee county, east by Livingston, south by Steuben and Cattaraugus counties, and west by Erie county. This is a new county, formed of the south part of Genesee. The surface is undulat- ing; and the general character of the soil is moist, sandy or gravelly loam, well adapted to the culture of grain and grass. Of minerals but few are found in this county. Silver lake, a beautiful body of water, lies mostly in the town of Castile; it is drained by Allen's and Tona- wanda creeks, while Cattaraugus creek crosses its south-west angle, and the Genesee river its south-east angle. Cayuga and Seneca creeks both head in the west part of this county. In the valleys of the streams are rich and fertile lands, probably not surpassed by any other section of the state; this whole region of country being justly celebra- ted for its fertility. The new county buildings are located in the village of Warsaw. Its area is about 500 square miles, or 320,500 acres.
The following are the names of the towns in Wyoming county, with the population in 1840.

YATES COUNTY, taken from Ontario in 1823, is centrally distant 185 miles from the city of Albany ; it is bounded on the north by On- tario county, on the east by Seneca lake, on the south by Steuben county, and on the west by the counties of Steuben and Ontario. The surface of this county is agreeably diversified, abounding in cultivated hills, and rich valleys; the soil is various ; there is some clay, but a warm rich mould predominates, yielding large crops of grain, and

Seneca lake lies on its eastern border, while Crooked lake enters it from the south, which lakes are united by the outlet and Crooked Lake Ca- nal ; it is also watered by Canandaigua lake on the west. A valuable sul- phur spring exists near the foot of Crooked lake; there is also an inflam- mable gas spring situated near the village of Rushville, and native cop- peras is found in the eastern part of this county. In addition to the above, a newly discovered brine spring in the village of Dundee, bids fair to become productive. Its area is about 320 square miles, or 204,444 acres. The county buildings are located in the village of Penn-Yan, in the town of Milo.
