Prof White and the Geology Glass

BILE and exceedingly profitable time,
obtaining a section of rock 10000
feet in thickness, and containing OK
posures of nearly all the rocks from
the Carboniterous down into the Low
er Siluran. They were pretty
rough looking set when they returned,
looking, as "a Piedmonter remarked
concerning your correspondent, very
similar to the snake hunters who
infest the mountain region.
