746 LIMESTONES AND TUFFS OF MALEKULA, N.H., 



jointly with Mr. Mawsoii,"^ deals exclusively with the Miocene 

 and the post-Miocene (probably Pliocene) rocks of the Island of 

 Malekula, south of Santo; and although the specimens comprised 

 in this part of the collection are not numerous, this is amply 

 compensated for by their extremel}^ interesting nature. 



The following outline sketch, kindly drawn up by Mr. Mawson, 

 illustrates the field-relations of the beds herein dealt with.

Compare with that appearing in "The Geology of the New 

 Hebrides,"! in which the series above Bartaleppe, now regarded 

 as probably Pliocene, is not differentiated from the Lepidocyclina 

 series, and is regarded as Miocene.
