    This is cut 3.
The next cut shows layer of chordate stuff on S side; about [[2?]] ft of a yellow stuff (loess); then 5 or 6 ft of yellow loess with bluish-gray streaks.

Cut farther on shows drift.
Walked back by wagonroad to ^[[John]] Weaver's house.  Noticed on the way that loess forms only a little cap, and that drift shows on all the ridges far up the slope.
Had supper at Weaver's and then returned to the hotel, found Prof. Macbride and conferred with him, chiefly on drift.
