unconformities, above and below the Hutchinson Quarry beds, which rest 

 on the well-known Oamaru stone. The Hutchinson Quarry beds are green- 

 sands, with many brachiopods and other fossils. They are generally taken 

 as equivalent to the Mount Brown beds. 



The Awamoa beds are more marly, and undoubtedly rest on the 

 Hutchinson Quarry beds. They contain an abundance of forms of littoral 

 Mollusca. The series is particularly well exposed at the rifle-butts south

of Oamaru, and there the conformable nature of the series is distinct, as 

 noticed by Park. Another junction between the Awamoa beds and the 

 thin development of Hutchinson Quarry beds is exposed at the north end 

 of All Day Bay, and here there is a conformity, as was admitted by McKay,* 

 who in the same reportf states that the Miocene beds (Awamoa) pass gradu- 

 ally into the Hutchinson Quarry beds, and thus he admits the conformable 

 nature of the whole series.
