Summary

• Photograph showing geologist Owen (at left) digging a test pit in search of red drift, while geologist Thwaites (at right) sits nearby. According to field notes, the geologists did not find red drift, as the depth of the pit became "prohibitive." A portion of the geologists' car is seen at right.
