"[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.
