That's it Mick
Next time you see it buy it it'll give your Curry a lovely flavour plus the fact you will need it if your going to make your own Garam massala (highly advisable) leave the ready made Garram Massala where it is on the shelf !
The Cassia Bark you will see it usually in a green colour plastic bag ok ?
hope this helps
