118 Glacial and Loessial Soils. 



Dunkirk clay. — Soil is a dark to black clay, 6 to 12 inches in 

 depth, underlain by a tenacious, mottled clay, beneath which, 

 at a depth of 4 to 10 feet, occurs the typical bowlder clay. Near 

 ancient beach lines the soil is sometimes underlain by gravel. 

 Found upon lake foreland and in upland valleys. Derived from 

 deposition in quiet water. Some areas badly drained. Adapted 

 to grapes, grain, and grass,
