Park. — Marine Tertiaries of Otago and Canterbury. 511 



12 in. in diameter, was discovered on the upper surface of the 

 flat ledge formed by this bed, just within the influence of high 

 tides. On account of the hardness of the rock no attempt 

 was made to extract it. 



From bed No. 5, which overlies bed No. 3 of Figs. 3 and 4, 

 and forms the higher part of the Kakanui limestone, I col- 

 lected the following forms, at a point about 15 chains north of 

 the quarry : — 



1. Kekenodou onomata, Hector. 



2. Scaphella corrugata, Hutton. 



3. Si'phonalia nodosa, Martyn. 



4. Cirsotrema browni, Zittel. 



5. Teredo heaphyi, Zittel. 



6. Ostrea angasi, Sowerby. 



7. Anomia alectus, Grey. 



8. Pec ten hutchinsoni, Hutton. 



9. Pecten burnetii, Zittel. 



10. Cucullcea alia, Sowerby. 



11. Lima paleata, Hutton. 



12. Venericardia awamoaensis, Harris. 



13. Magellania novara, Jhermg. 



14. Magellania parki, Hutton. 



15. Terebratella gaulteri, Morris. 



16. Terebratula oamaruttca, Boehm. 



17. Terebraiuhna oamarutica, Boehm. 



18. Meoma crawfordi, Hutton. 



19. Isis dactyla, Tenison -Woods. 

 Cup-shaped Cellepora. 



Net and branching corals, very abundant. 

 Crab-remains. 



From Kakanui the tuffs extend northward to a point about 

 90 chains south of Awamoa Creek. On the beach at White 

 Rocks Road they are about 60 ft. thick, and dip east at angles 

 varying from 30° to 35°. At this place they contain a few 

 fossils, among which I collected Diplodonta zelandica, Gray, 

 Tellina angulata, Hutton, some fragments of an oyster, and 

 broken corals. 



Awamoa Creek. 



The Awamoa beds are regarded by the Geological Survey 

 and Captain Hutton as typically representative of the Pareora 

 beds of Canterbury. They are exposed on the beach at the 

 mouth of Awamoa Stream, and on the banks of the stream in 

 the immediate vicinity. The rocks forming these beds con- 

 sist of bluish-green sandstones alternating with blue sandy 

 clays. In the clays there are thin beds or bands of hard 

 shelly sandstone, generally pebbly and gritty.
