"Mr. Lill, U.S.N.
Of this Arthur's fill [illegible] five
specimens by Sellers there are
specimens for Price. These are
described Avicel species, Arthur Lill
must the army.
In association with the St Helens
Island group (Seldenby) there is also an
outcrop of Middle Oomian rocks.
Mr. Liddell showed me a fine specimen
with several quite characteristic Spirifer
designata. In the case there are three
other species with quite a different
spiral (named like S.— [illegible]
from the
[illegible] Rock Island). It has fine striae
in the dorsal fold. The specimens are for
not separately by various forms. This material
is in quite a different matrix and some
of the fossils are as casts. It is in this matrix
that the shells are which I found of
Prof. Whiteways.
Is it that they [illegible] occur in the past?
In agglomerate? The once probably edge in
that it is another involved shell. But that
exactly the agglomerate is post-Middle Oomian.
went back the same time to as the
Middle Oyr. Rock but failed to make clue
of it. I think I saw a D. [illegible]. If I did
it in an involved Shell rather perfect removed
from the Lower Seldenby.
