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.
