not think that this unconformity indicates any appreciable lapse 

 of time and that the whole cliff belongs to the same period of 

 deposition. The ferruginous beds are well jointed and after 

 keeping fairly horizontal for about 150 yards they slowly sink 

 with a dip of about 7 D and pass out of sight, the mottled upper 

 beds coming down to sea-level. In the ferruginous beds there 

 occur small lenticular sheets of a hard grey limestone. In our 

 searches for fossils at this locality we have been kindly assisted 

 by Mr. T. S. Hart and Mr. W. H. F. Hill, who have placed their 

 material at our disposal. 



We obtained the following fossils -.—Lovenia forbesii, Wds. 

 and Dune: Leda crassa, Hinds; Chione subroborata, Tate; 

 Dosinia johnstoni, Tate ; Tellina albinelloides, Tate ; Mactra 

 ha/ni/tonensis, Tate; Modio/a, sp. now; Meretrix paucirugata, 

 Tate ; M. submultistriata, Tate ; Zenatiopsis angustata, Tate ; 

 Entalis subfissura, Tate ; Leiopyrga quadricingulata, Tate ; L. 

 sayceana, Tate; Bankivia maxima^ Tate, m.s.; Potamides, sp., 

 Calyptraa crassa, Tate. 



5. Hampton (Picnic Point). 



On the point south of the pier the hard ironstone is brought 

 up by a slight roll in the strata, the strike of which is S.25 D E., 

 the dip being about 5°. Some of the bands are fairly rich in 

 fossils. 



G. Brighton Beach. 



Casts of fossils occur in ferruginous beds at the mouth of a 

 gully about half-way between Picnic Point and Brighton Beach. 



7. Brighton Beach. 



The point north of the pier at Brighton is formed by an 

 outcrop of brown jointed sandstone passing up into mottled 

 sandy clays. The rocks are slightly current bedded, and though 

 fossils occur they are scarce. The dip as plotted from two 

 observed apparent dips is X.11 C E. at 13°. 



8. Brighton Beach. 



The locality is on the same low bluff as seven and on the 

 north side of the point.
