 Geological Survey. 



Tahle II. — Classification of Cretaceous and Tertiary Strata. 



(Since ccusiderations of expense have prevemted the publishing 

 of contributions to the proceedings of the Session of the Aus- 

 tralasian Association, other than the Presidential Addresses and 

 special Reports of Research Committees, etc., the " Notes on New 

 Zealand Geology" by Mr. P. G. Morgan, Director of the Geo- 

 logical Survey, which accompanied the maps herewith, and ex- 

 pressed the official views thereon, cannot unfortunately be printed 

 in full in this volume. Mr. Morgan has, however, generously 

 permitted the reproduction with this address of his maps and 

 provisional correlation-tables of the strata in various parts of 

 New Zealand, and of the Coal Measures, which tables formed 

 part of his paper. These are a most valuable addition to our 

 summary of the present position of the knowledge of New Zealand 

 Geology. ) 



Table I. Classification of the Post-Jurassic Coal-Measures — 



(1) Upper Cretaceous (Senonian) ; Waipara (Boby's Creek), 



Malvern Hills, Shag Point, Green Island, and prob- 

 ably Kaitangata. 



« 



(2) Early Eocene or possibly very late Cretaceous; Paparoa 



beds, Greymouth. (At present included by me (P.G.M.) 

 in the Marewhranuian). 



(3) Eocene (Marewhranuian) ; Greymouth, Westport (bitumin- 



ous coal). Central Nelson, Collingwood in part ( ?), 

 Paring River (probably). 



(4) Early Oamaruiau (Ngaparan) ; Whangarei, Middle Wai- 



kato (Huntly). Collingwood in part, Charleston, 

 Brighton (Westport), Inangahua in part, South Can- 

 terbury, Oamaru. Waikaka, Waikaia, Nightcaps or 

 Wairio ( ?), Central Otago (?). 



(5) Pareoraii or Awamoan ; Mokau River, Tangarakau Gorge, 



Retaruke River. Inangahua in part. Just possibly the 

 Central Otago lignites belong about here. 



(6) In various places there are lignites of Pliocene age as 



always admitted.
