the outcrop which he noted and which we were unable to discover. 

 (5, p. 23). As that author points out the physical appearances 

 of the deposit are the same as those of the Point Addis clays on 

 which the polyzoal limestone rests and he referred both to the 

 same horizon. A few chains S.E. of this point we found a loose 

 block of Eocene limestone containing? an umbilicated Nautilus 

 about six inches in diameter and Trigonia subundulata, but could 

 find no outcrop. 



Wilkinson's No. 4 Locality. 



About three quarters of a mile west of the outcrop of lignitic 

 clays polyzoal limestone crops out extensively on the beach and 

 is Wilkinson's No. 4 locality. The beds dip south-easterly, the 

 strike being at right angles to the coast-line, and as hard and soft 

 beds alternate fairly regularly the platform of rock which is 

 exposed by the falling tide is furrowed like an old ploughed field 

 and presents a striking dissimilarity from the dune rock which 

 occurs elsewhere in the neighbourhood. A belt of sandy beach, 

 fifteen yards wide, intervenes between this platform and the 

 deposit at the foot of the clifts where the tabular masses rise as 

 high as one's head and are crowded with fragmentary fossils. To 

 the N. W. the limestone overlies argillaceous rocks, of which there 

 is only a small outcrop rising not far above extreme high water 

 mark. The section from above downwards is : — 



54ft. Oin. of polyzoal limestone with softer bands ; full of 

 quartz, grit and rounded pebbles. 

 Gin. concretionary limonite with well rounded quartz 

 pebbles. 

 2ft. Oin. clay and limestone. 



Gin. limestone. 

 1ft. Gin. grey clay. 



Gin. gritty limestone. 

 3ft. Oin. grey clay. 



1ft. Oin. yellow limestone with polyzoa. 

 Gin. clay. 



9in. yellowish limestone. 

 Gin. grey clay. 

 1ft. Oin. concretionary limestone with brachiopods and 

 echinoids.
