August 10-1920 Tuesday. Started out at 9.30 A.M., for Anbury Crylamte ate in the Frank Hill Cemetery. Sayles Locality no 6 of Joplin of 1914. As described by Jales in page 147. Many of the larger pebbles are very glacial striated due to stick-siding. These however need not be mistaken for the actual glacial striation. No [illegible] have been found here. Have a piece of the crylamate and several pebbles, to show faulting and indenting by other pebbles. This crylamate is supposed to be the equivalent of the Sguantum tillite, the lower crylamate. Then we went on to Sguantum Head Locality no 13 of Mr Sayles. As described in page 157- Collected some of the purple and pink clasts to show faulting = annual layers. Then went on Sguantum South-East creek where the tillite is better seen but not so good as at the Head. There the layering is finer and more regular and within annular diagrams.
