 One of the authors lias elsewhere recorded thirty -two species of 

 fossils from Cheltenham (11). As uncertainty exists as to the 

 exact horizon from which the greater number were obtained, and 

 as there is evidence that some species, hitherto regarded as 

 Eocene, transgress at Cheltenham into the Miocene, it would, we 

 think, be injudicious to attempt to correct the list there given. 

 The only safe plan is to erase the record by striking out the word 

 "Cheltenham" wherever it occurs in the catalogue. The locality 

 is correct, the horizon may be surmised for most of the forms, 

 but is not absolutely certain. 



3. Ricketts Point. 



Mr. J. A. Atkinson first drew our attention to the fossils 

 occurring in ferruginous beds here. They are not common and 

 as is usually the case are mere casts. 



We have found the following : — Lovenia forbesii, Wds. and 

 Dune; Leda crassa, Hinds; Chione subroborata, Tate; Dosinia 

 jo/iusto/ii,T&te; Tellina albineHoides, Tate; Mactra hamiltonensis, 

 Tate; Donax, sp.; Zenatiopsis august at a, Tate; Barnea tiara, 

 Tate ; Scalaria triplicata, Tate ; Leiopyrga quadricingulata, Tate ; 

 L. sayceana, Tate. 



4. Red Bluff, Sandringham. 



The clifi' is about eighty feet in height. The upper portion 

 consists of about sixty feet of mottled sandy clay, which overlies 

 the denuded surface of strongly ferruginous sandstones full of 

 concretionary nodules. We have already mentioned that we do
