32 ICE RECESSION IN NEW ENGLAND 



76. — 2 miles W of Wells River, Vt., brickyard on the brook 

 discharging into the Wells River. De Geer's (1921) 

 locality "Wells River." De Geer's profile was measured 

 on a series of samples taken by R. Liden. 



25 feet sand. 



10 feet varve sand to silt. Varves on the average 1 inch thick. 



Varve limits very difficult to distinguish. 

 Varve clay, varves 6970-7500. Lamination poorly developed. 

 Probably not far down to bottom, since till appears in the 



brook close to the section. 



Series measured: (6970-7500). 



Since the clay was very difficult to measure, and my 

 measurement shows little agreement with the others 

 from the region, this section has not been used for 

 the correction or the construction of the normal 

 curve. 



77. — Wells River, 300 yards N of the station, cut on the western 

 side of the highway. 



7 feet silt and sand, varves about 1 foot thick. 

 7 feet silty clay, varves too thin to be measured or counted. 

 3 feet silty clay, often with sandy layers, about 200 varves. 

 Fat blue-gray varve clay with one or two folded zones, varves 



7155-7290. Average thickness about K inch. Lamination 



good. 

 12 feet talus. 

 Sand. Depth to bottom of sediments unknown. 



Series measured: (7155-7290). 



78. — W T oodsville, N. H., brickyard }4 mile N of the station. 

 De Geer's (1921) locality "Woodsville". De Geer's sec- 

 tion measured by R. Liden. 



The clay pits are situated at the foot of a hill. The 

 appearance of the profiles, in 19 16, has been described 

 in detail by Sayles (19 19, p. 18). In 192 1 the exposures 

 were not quite so good.
