Hutton. — On Cobden Limestone Fossils. 267 



his report on this very district in 1881 he shows the Pareora 

 rocks (Lower Miocene) resting on the Wairoa and Kaihiku 

 series, between Pudding Hill and the Hakateramea Biver,* 

 and on the Maitai and Te Anau series to the west of Elephant 

 Hill. Also, in the "Geology of Canterbury and Westland," 

 (Plate of Sections, No. 5, Section No. 4,) Sir J. von Haast 

 shows the Pareora formation resting on his Waihao formation 

 (Older Palaeozoic) between Elephant Hill and the Upper Waihao 

 — occupying here the very same position with reference to 

 the Oamaru formation that I have supposed it to occupy a 

 few miles further down the river. A little reflection will, 

 no doubt, recall to Mr. McKay's mind other localities, between 

 Lake Te Anau in Otago and the Awatere in Marlborough, 

 where the same thing can be seen. 



Art. XXXIII. — On some Fossils lately obtained from the Cobden 



Limestone at Greymouth. 



By Professor F. W. Hutton, F.G.S. 



[Read before the Philosophical Institute of Canterbury, 1st September, 1887.] 



Last January, when I was in Greymouth, the Bev. B. J. West- 

 brooke, F.G.S., Mr. E. Williams, and Mr. B. Helms all kindly 

 allowed me to examine their collections of fossils from the 

 Cobden limestone, which had been found in the quarries now 

 being worked for the harbour works ; and I was enabled to 

 identify the following species : — 



Carcharodon angustidens, Agassiz. 



Aturia ziczac, Sowerby. 



(This is the same as the supposed Ammonite from 

 Ten-mile Creek, Greymouth, mentioned by me 

 in my paper on the Geology of New Zealand, + 

 and alterwards doubtfully identified with Nau- 

 tilus danicus in " Beports of Geological Explora- 

 tions," 1881, p. 74, when it was again found at 

 Wharekauri on the Waitaki.) 



Cassidaria senex, Hutton. 



Voluta attemiata, Hutton. 



Scalaria rotunda, Hutton. 



* In his report he says that "they rest directly on the older Palsozoic 

 rocks," ("Geol. Eeport, 1881," p. 65,) but his map shows them resting 

 here on older Mesozoic rocks.
