Byan Nov. 7. Beuglodon no. 2. From the plantation of [illegible]. (spec. on tchee) Brown on one side of the plantation road. The surface for 30 feet was scattered with very much broken ribs. On digging down a multitude of large ribs were uncovered. One end of these seem to be invariably broken and as thick as my upper arm. The other end becomes flat, attenuates, and is very much bent thus: The bone lie in a soft clay and are very much broken so that I doubt that many of these ribs can be taken up.
