"no apparent evidence of elevated [44] temperatures remaining in the beds - A half-mile farther up stream begins the section of the northern bank which was characterized in 1903 by counter flows of hot dust [Honey, Bull. G.S. A., to also 1903 Photos] and se- condary eruptions of that material. Here the bed of the stream is at least 30 feet below the level occupied by it in 1903. [How about 1908?] The river ages up now, by being cutting down into deposits which antedate 1902. The massive beds of dry new seasoning ash, desiccated by their southward exposure, discharge much dry sand and gravel. This collects in cones during the dry seasons at their bases and furnishes a not unimportant contribution to the débris carried out by the river when it is in flood. [XXII, 63A + 64B-]
