Park. — Marine Tertiaries of Otago and Canterbury. 527 



at the Fishing Eocks, a short distance below the junction of 

 the Wharekuri, I collected the following fossils : — 



1. Aturia atistralis, McCoy. 



2. Plenrotoma fusiformis, Hutton. 



3. Scaphella corrugata, Hutton. 



4. Turritella caver shamensis, Harris. 



5. Turritella mantelli, Zittel. 



6. Girsoirema brouni, Zittel. 



7. Natica gibbosa, Hutton. 



8. Teredo keaphyi, Zittel. 



9. Pleurotomaria tertiaria, McCoy. 



10. Ostrea angasi ('?)., Sowerby. 



11. Limopsis insolita, Sowerby. 



12. Pecten hochstetteri, Zittel. 



13. Pseud amtisskim huttoni, Park. 



14. Cucullcea alta, Sowerby. 



15. Gardium patulum, Hutton. 



16. Panopcea orbita, Hutton. 



17. Psammobia lineolata, Gray. 



18. Mactmpsis traili, Hutton. 



19. Venericardia aivamoaensis , Harris. 



20. Flabellum radians, Tenison-Woods. 

 Crab-remains. 



Encrinite stem. 

 Vertebrae of fish. 

 Of the above, all but Aturia australis, Pleurotomaria 

 tertiaria, and Gardium patulum were found in the Kekenodon 

 beds. The fossils of the Kekenodon and Aturia, beds in the 

 Wharekuri basin correlate these beds with the Kekenodon and 

 Aturia horizons at Kakanui, where the presence of the Oamaru 

 Stone enables us to determine the stratigraphical position of 

 the Mount Brown beds, variously known as Hutchinson 

 Quarry, Kakanui, or Mount Donald beds. 



Waihao Forks. 



Stratigraphy. 

 The sequence of the Tertiary beds exposed on the banks 

 of the Waihao River is as follows : — 

 Waitaki Stone . . 1. Calcareous sandstone. 



I 2. Greensands. 

 Mount Brown beds -j 3. Bluish-green sandy clays and sandstones with 



| hard calcareous layers. 



(4. Bluish-green sandstones. 

 Waihao beds . . \ 5. Grey sandstones. 



(6. Quartzose grits, shales, fireclays, and brown coal. 



The succession is almost identical with that seen in the 

 Waitaki Valley. Captain Hutton"- contends that beds 3,
