"[illegible] there are two [illegible] of three zones there are few more here than at Port mains Birth" near Meafod. saw also large P. pericem. From this evidence it would appear that the Eden fauna persists long here and that some of the Richmond fauna appears earlier, In other words that the upper "Eden" is partly of Lonaird time. The Lower Richmond is all covered by the material of the higher beds from near the TD of the cliff which Forester tells me is the Older Saluda fauna. What I collected may be regarded as of Saluda time. The earliest Richmond fauna here Forester regards as and is mainly g[illegible] limestone. I collected me Beatricia undulata in the Saluda zone. The Richmond has a great deal more limestone here than at Meafod. Saw no Q. subquadrata and Forester states that it does not occur in the Granitrolni, The red beds of the Richmond - Queenston appear due out in the Manitrolins. It hardly seems to me that the higher Richmond limestones represent the aged beds in position and time. Rather that they were eroded over.
