Extract

Under the name of “Loess” there has been confounded two kinds of deposit which are due to entirely distinct and different causes. One is the fine-grained sediment left by the muddy water of flooded rivers and streams of all sorts; the other is the powdery dust and sand carried by wind, which in dry regions often produces large accumulations of this nature.
