After each locality is placed the name of the person who 

 found the fossil there. The number refers to the number of 

 his work in the appendix. Papakura and Slippery Creek I 

 take to be synonymous. 



A good many fossils were found by myself in the beds 

 exposed in Slippery Creek which belong to the Papakura 

 series. The most characteristic bed is the Papakura lime- 

 stone, and as the other fossiliferous beds have not yet been 

 described they have not been specified in naming the localities. 

 They are, however, at no great vertical distance above or 

 below the limestone. 



Any value which this paper possesses is due to the criticism 

 and advice of Professor Thomas. Although in no way respon- 

 sible for the conclusions arrived at, he has generously sacri- 

 ficed time for which he had many and better uses in directing 

 and encouraging my work.
