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.
