those of gneiss. Considerable rose 194 quartz in small strings and pieces. One area of hard snow 30x4 yds square shows beautiful wind ripple marks as sharp as those common in sand. Moat shows vertical wall of stratified ice facing the mountain side, effect of wind against the mountain. A few fragments of rock have bounded down the mountain slope and become im- bedded in the face of ice. Slid down two snow slopes. Older snow looks and feels like marble and is danger- ous on a slope. Had to turn back for 1/4 or 1/3 mile on account of steep hard snow slope 10 or 12 feet high which we did not care to slide down on accoun- t of rocks at the bottom. Sits wet with melting snow in one little spot. H.C.P. gave Gretliak his bath robe this morning. She was much pleas- ed of course but looked funny enough in it.
