Richmond of Shral Point on Long Point Porta Part. Inside shore and extreme of Long Point. Storly has considerable material. One large slab (primarily loose) is glacially stratified and is crowded with Plectambonites, Dimetra subquadrata (very common) and Leptaena sp. These fossils alone make the design Richmond and low down in the Anticosti series. Also a small spire bracer, allied to Whitfieldella antea model ortho? or annos sinuos, "M. tenuis grandis" according to Billings. Heads about 2 inches long across. Clathrospora. Very large fossils. Corallites very obscure. Looks to me like Ulrich's Black River genus (hystricoid) This fossil is also hystricoid, from 7-8 inches in length. Don't recognize Orthis-like Maria. For proof of cutaneous "Petradinum sp." Out this genus. In manner like T. 10" x 6" across. Has small cells the size of T., but not at all of the genus. Have a piece of the best specimen. Pholidomella of ecteus very common. Radisquame alternata A. There can be no doubt of the Cincinnati (English Head formation) age of these sandy greenish limestones on the extreme point of Long Point.
