[[strikethrough]] [[underline]] Cut 9 [[/underline]] The slope of same ridge facing E. shows drift & yellow loess. All along from corner N. to turn in road (1/4 mi) the drift appears in bank on E side. The rather long hill facing W. in [[insertion]] Cut 10 [[/insertion]] SE 1/4 SW. 1/4 sec. 10-80-36 shows drift, with an upper redder "[[ferretto?]]" (clayey) a little more than half way up hill, yes nearly to top. Then a layer of gray loess, resting on oxidized "[[ferretto?]]". This is not very clear excepting at line of contact with [[ferretto?]] On top of hill (& most on way in upper half) is yellow. loess. Top of hill E. = 1690! A few small scrub oaks appear just above bank of fossiliferous yellow loess on top of slope. The layer that appears something like blue loess is [[chocolate?]] below, and runs quite a way up hill. Its [[/strikethrough]] [[end page]] [[start page]] [[strikethrough]] upper part is gray & shows iron tubes. The yellow loess is found only on very top & probably is not over 3 ft. thick in thickest place. It has many small nodules. At time of leaving 1695 was reading on top of this hill in road. [[insertion]] Cut 11 [[/insertion]] On E. slope of same ridge drift appears below. [[insertion]] Cut. 12 [[/insertion]] In S.E 1/4 11-80-36 a hill (top = 1704), rather long, shows red clayey [[ferretto?]] & above is yellow loess with some nodules. Saw no fossils. Bottom at sec. [[insertion]] ^ SE. cor. 11. [[/insertion]] cor. W. = 1659 [[insertion]] Cut 13 [[/insertion]] In SE SW 12-80-36 a hill reading 1757. shows on face to W. Kansan drift with rusty bands above, a distinct blue loess with iron tubes, & this passes by oxidized band into yellow loess [[/strikethrough]]
