Saturday, March 16-1929 Spent the morning with Prof. Dayles in seeing the oaks to the south of Hotel Inverurie to the south shae. My first locality he had seen further east and here we can see superposed two soils. In one place they come to within five feet of one another and then separate ate wide. The old typography was similar to the present though less high. Oagles says the older dunes are furthest inland, and the youngest ones near the shores. Therefore my large lot of shells should be of some sort or very young. The oldest soil seen today is at the Inverurie terrace a few feet above low tide. It is less than one foot thick and in thought to lie on the Dalsingham that now shows but little above tide. All in all Dayles appears to have four soils in the Paget and one at the top of the Dalsingham, in the afternoon brought gifts things and then called up to said on the train in the morning. Paid up my hotel bills and have about $20 left to take me to Char Haran. Had dinner at the Princess Hotel with the Dayles' and their daughter and son.
