| Summary: | jackatar n composed. I did not see these, but they have been visited and described by Mr. John Milne, M.E., Fossils of Lower Silurian age are abundant and well preserved in most of the rocks of Port a Port and we collected a great many during the season. Fine pencil like graptolites, and beauti- ful web like dendrograptus were particularly abundant in some of the more shaly portions. At the extreme of the Long Point facing the open gulf the limestone ledges are filled with ancient corals, sponges and such like fossils and some of the surfaces exhibit the trails of some animals, probably trilobites, which left deep groves in the mud, crossing and recrossing each other many times. *Did he describe jackatars?
