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.
