NO. 2.] STRAT1GRAPHIC RESULTS. 133 



After we have thus partly revised Newton's stratigraphic results 

 through the evidence of the Lower and Middle Callovian, partly supplemented 

 them through the evidence of the (Lower) Bajocian and the Upper Callovian, 

 the gap disappears, which, according to Newton's results, existed between the 

 youngest marine strata of the Jura below the basalt, and the sandstones 

 containing land-plants found north of Elmwood, and, belonging to the White 

 Jura according to Professor Nathorst. 



Newton (1. c. p. 512) supposes that the Belemnites found at Eira 

 Harbour during Leigh Smith's expedition, and which Etheridge declared to 

 be of Oxfordian age, are probably of the same age as the Macrocephalus 

 horizon of Cape Flora (according to Newton's intepretation). If the Belem- 

 nites found at Eira Harbour agree with Belemnites m. f. stibextensus Nik. 

 - Pcmderi d'Orb., frequently found at Cape Flora, they must belong to the 

 Middle, and not to the Lower Callovian.
