October 5-1923. Friday.
Cool and clear morning.
Bears off to see the Cretaceous on our way to
Atlantic City. Practically saw all of the various
formations, but the impression left is a series of glauconite
marls interbedded with sandstones. Also saw the Vin
centown lime - sand but here the joints are not at once
as abundant as at Vincentown itself, which is only four
miles away. For fossils the Cret. is uninteresting.
All of the high land is covered with the Pleistocene
yellow gravel - I believe the Princeton parks.
Be then drove into Atlantic City where we
stopped at the Haddon Hall.
October 6-1923 Saturday.
Left Atlantic City at 8.30 and drove most near the
Atlantic Coast and the way to Asbury Park. Much of
the land is barren and but little inhabited due to
the loose sandy soil. Here and there a Town, maybe
fishing villages. All lie but little above sea level
until we gets near Point Pleasant when the land
becomes a rolling country.
Set for Asbury Park at 12.30 and left
