Art. XL. — Cainozoic Fossils from Oamaru.

[Bead before the Otago Institute. 1st December, 1914.] 



Further collecting in the fossiliferous beds of Tertiary age near Oamaru 

 has been continued on many occasions by Mr. Uttley and myself with several 

 assistants. It has been thought worth while to put on record the names 

 of those fossils that we have found, and to add to these lists stratigraphical 

 and lithological notes of an explanatory nature. For the statements that 

 are made here the author alone is responsible, but he is indebted to Mr. 

 Uttley for much information.

collected. 



The accompanying map shows the locality of the various places where 

 we have made collections, and it will be seen generally that collections have 

 been obtained from various points from All Day Bay, on the coast, ten miles 

 south of Oamaru, to Wharekuri, in the Waitaki Valley, forty miles distant 

 from the sea, and in the Waihao Valley, twenty miles to the north of 

 Oamaru.
