Del Rio. Occasionally we sees a cotton patch but here the dried and dead bushes are hardly fit for tattle. Out side of cattle raising the chances of creating a living is impossible. East of Del Rio the Comanchian is well explored along the banks of the Rio Grande and Devils River. The strata lie in almost directional hills, but gradually become undulating with dips up to five degrees, and locally up to ten degrees. All in white chalky muddy limestone. On the plain above the river are occasional residual hills to foot or light. We cross the Pecos River over a high steel bridge 321 feet above the river. It is an intrenched river in the Comanchian, the lower 200 feet of which is heavy bedded chalky limestone and the rest then bedded sand stone. The river itself is narrow and dry dirty yellow. The walls of the limestone many vertical in the heavy bedded limestone, old and dark grey in bright places covered by the calm white her and then merely fallen grass. [illegible]
