I small specimens may be seen everywhere
in the rock, nor saw the small bygon
Helpona but nothing else.
I could make no better collection for I
was very sea sick and vomiting at the time.
I doubt however if I could have seened
many other species than those mentioned.
Under the circumstances of constantly
suffering sea sickness I concluded to get
to Ellis Bay as the formation is one
in the 100 fut of the Conchidium zone.
He lay in the trough of the sea and
finally in a cross current sea or that I
became a very sick man. I do not know
of a worse case of sea sickness and
vomiting continued with shivering to the spine.
The same force came on and though the
cabin was hot I could not get warm,
during the latter part of the journ
Drinks of cold water did me much good
and finally was able to lay without a
fire in the cabin.
