on W. side of road & farther up the edge of the bench, extending to its top, is a deep gutter exposing fully 20 ft. of loess. This loess is yellow, but below it becomes quite bluish, streaked with ferruginous, & is compact. This bench is evidently old. The hardpan & yellow clay are probably both Kansan, though the latter may be Aftonian silt. The bench ends abruptly at the son's house. The bluffs above are a little more abrupt, & Kansan appears in the bench. In the [[strikethrough]] east part of sec. 8 at Z [[/strikethrough]] near N. line of sec. 17, at Z reading 1015, sand appears on the east side in a little road cut, & Kansan is distinctly above it. [[strikethrough]] It upper part contains pebbles & a few small boulders.[[/strikethrough]] Probably Kansan [[end page]] [[start page]] 81 Cut Y is also along road on E. side, (reading about 1030 to to top of sand) It shows 3-4 ft of sand under Kansan. The sand is quite ferruginous, especially along line below Kansan. The next 3 or 4 little knolls along road N. (S. of first cross-road in sec. 8) cut a little by road also show gravel. In sec. 5 Oto Twp. all along slope there is typical Kansan, with some good-sized boulders., toward W. end sand appears in road with Kansan in bank, - at [[underline]] a [[/underline]] A broken bench occupies the angle. Bottom opposite Oto reads 960. In S. part of sec. 32, Miller Twp. fine sand appears on long slope. It comes from under loess & is probably dune sand. In the NW. 1/4 of sec. 32 Miller Twp. the road runs down a long hill. Loess appears above. At an altitude of 1015 there is very rusty sand with Kansan above it. Lower down gravel appears. Kansan also shows on lower slopes - pushed over.
