In the old stratified mor trunks & branches of trees occur at a height of about 100 ft [feet] or a little more above tide water in a finer muddy stratum all at one height, as far as I have seen. Wood sound some of it. Have not yet compared with opp [opposite] shore deposits. No doubt similar That the glacier was once 21 withdrawn considerably back of its present limits seems plain.
