San Rira, Monday June 22,
Had a fine nights rest in the camp with
Poyas as my companion. As this was
no call from Poiree I remained asleep
until 6 and [illegible] had a share. At seven had
breakfast learned that it would not be
possible to sail now for the west as the wind
is from the north west, the direction in which
we want to go.
At nine A.M. the wind is high and there
is no prospect of our getting out today.
Later I reexamined the cliff about half
way between San Rira and Cape Mac Silvery
which is about 2 miles East of the River.
Found me good Illaenus head, some Rafinesquian
and a few crabs. Also saw here the Citypca
corypta but too poor to take, and three Orthos
flatellus one of which I have. With the finding
of these fossils and the Citypca corycta with
a Schuckertella in the cliff near San
