"[illegible] from base of Long Point, Best Bay (inside), Patane Port. Slabs reflect and graphites. Dictyorema. Apparently of the same type as the one from Piccadilly, only mixed layers. Corallites over the entire surface as in certain byssus. There are at least 3 species. Dillipoptera, the small commia from the Islands, The same concinnities type here. My commia here It appears to be the graph slate zone seen by me at the Islands. Only here the other species are far more common with the addition of Dictyorema. Otherwise the fauna appears to be the same. Saw some of the Longulos layer since [Lirere maybe here but can not rely on this slab, may be mixed in]. See his report 392-395. Devonian. A shale series at the base of the Curb. (see Murray Report) is thought to be Devonian because of its first scales sometimes in abundance. These scales are of Palaeornizeus, are larger twice than those of the Beresee and thicker. I see nothing in favor of Devonian but as far as Lem concerned the age is rather Dub- Curb or Higher.
