CLAY BANKS TELL
 Of OLD GLACIER
Retrelt Of lce Mountain Cin Be
 Ttlcod

New York, Jan. 13.-LN-Entrie from the worlds oldest logbook- the geological journal of Mother Earth-aFe being transcribed It the American Museum of Natural His tory n scientists trace the north ward retreat of the last ice sheet
 Dr.. Chester \. Reeds, curator of invsrtebrate palaeontolosy, is as sembling the ancient record in paragraphs Of clay. 50 to speak. for he is following the glacier's retro- sression year by year through the annual soil deposits laid down by the ice as it slowly receded from its extreme southern frontier near New York.
 Working in clay pits of the Hack ensack river valley at Little Fer ry. N. J.. Dr. Reeds has been able to record the movement of the gla- cier during c,55o years of its re- treat. At Havenstraw, N. Y.. north of this city. he has found the story of another 75o years recession.
 These accurate studies are possi- ble because each annual glacial de- posit of sediment is clearly marked in shaded bands of clay. Dark strips denote the winter accumu- lation. while intervening lighter colored bands represent the sum- mer deposit.
 Swedish geologists. working with Baron Gerard de Geer. have learned from these bands that it took the leo l3,600 years to recede from central Scania, tho southermost part of Sweden, to the present small ice caps in the north central part Of that country. Using similar methods in New England Ernst Antevs, another Swedish scientist, counted back 4.1o0 years in the Connecticut valley and 7,3o0 years in Canada. Dr. Reeds work brings the total to 14.70o years, but there are still many links missing in the chain that leads from the ica bor- der of 25.000 years ago to its pres- ent location in the subarctic.
 "The cIays from which we are obtaining this record are of glacial age," says Dr. Reeds, 'since each layer had its origin in an annual retreat stage of the ice. They were developed as follows: As the ice melted and receded slowly northward during the warm sum- mer months of each year the swol- len rivers that flowed out from un- der the ice mass picked up the fine sand and clay particles and trans-

ported them to frash-wateF lakes which occupied tho lower portions of the enclosed basins In front of the glacier.
 '.As the stream currents on en- tering the still waxsrs ef the lake gradually lot their power to trans- port their load Of sediment the fine sand and coarse clay particles set- tied down over the lake bottom to form the sandy summer layer. Dur ing the cold winter months the ice- front became stationary. the en- glacial and sub-glacial stream courses either ran dry or con- gealed and little. If any, sediments were transported by the rivers into the lakes.
 "The surface of the lake also be- came encrusted with ice and snow, and the fine clay particles. which had been held in suspension in the milky water following tho summer incursions. slowly settled to the bottom to form the bluish, reddish or dark winter layers composed of pure clay. Before the end of the winter season the lakes cleared, and . sharp line of demarcation was established between the top of the winter layer and the base of the succeeding summer layer. This well-defined line is of value in separating the seasonal layers into vS,a~ AF ann,oJ An~As}ts
 These geologic events immediate ly recede the present day. How far back they go in time we can but estimate. yet the exploration and counting of the clay varves is af- fording q precise record of the an- nual retreat stages of the ice and the duration of the glacial lakes"
