Monday August 28-1933 Wea. TUES. SEPT. 14, 1909 Ther. Can't or drift between here a head betwixt the Mallett and Parker, land and erosion. This explains why so often the Lawn Parker has much of quite jettie inclusions that weather out leaving holes. Thirteen yards across the Parker above the Mallett contact forms a sand's drift 4' thick. Then turned east on to errand at Margos, S.E. to N.W. of Riddlegys. First examined the Kellogg Alenrides quarry. Day claimed to know it is un- mistakeable Parker slate below, higher the distance it has just beneath the high drift, has the Alenides. Farther east Armell would admit no thrust bring- ing of the Mallett but regarded the as hidden drift, thick to Lawn (3-40') drift. Farther east he wanted to call the shale up. Cautious but to this did not agree. Then I turned up a Microdiscus flabellae in drift, on the eastern slope of the high drift. Armell was then convinced that all is Par- ker with here a great lentil of Parker drift. It is very fortunate that those Parker drifts are all in lines of training trends of fault by N.-S.
