Houston, Jan 7-1924. Monday. Called on R.F. Baker in the Texas Co. working a little seep mine A.M., and came with him and Mess Kniker until 8 P.M. Had a most instructive day looking into the value of framne[illegible] in subsurface correlations. They are very successful in spotting horizons with them and this will lead to an unex- pected stratigraphy connected with the salt domes. These are rising domes ever since Jackson time and appear to be still rising. The Jackson and Clippence strata pitch out against these red lands - islands and headlands in the sea. The Frann, as usually common and well preserved. Most of them show no wear due to washing them only tho mud.
