My visit to the Laundry pond yielded only a few birds, a single little egret, a coot, a pair of little grebes, several ferruginous ducks and a small flock of mallards. |
The beige-to-ochre tropical ferruginous soil displays in its first horizons a sandy texture at slope bottom, and is sandy-clayey on the remainder. |
At the laundry pond in addition to the usual species I saw another new species, a group of three ferruginous ducks. |
A mixture of bruised arum leaves and stalks with a quantity of dark, ferruginous earth and water was put into the gourd. |
The latter, a series of ferruginous shelly sands, are the only preserved in situ product of the late Miocene-early Pliocene marine transgression. |
It contained fragments of earth of a ferruginous color, and emitting a sulphureous smell. |
