Parts of no less than 43 individual reptiles, " mostly of gigantic size 

 and all of aquatic habits, and belonging to at least thirteen distinct 

 species, have been discovered.'* The stratigraphical position of these 

 and accompanying fossils has been determined to be about that of the 

 European Cretaceous period. The following is a synopsis of the 

 species : — ^A. Yertebra? flat or slightly biconcave. 1. Flesiosaiirns : 

 P. australis, P. crassicostatuSy P. Boodii, P. Hohnesii^ P. Traversii, 

 P. MacTcayiL 2. Poli/cotylus, Cope : P. tenuis. 3. Mauisaurus, Hector : 

 M. Haastii, M. Icitibmchialis. B. Vertebrae procoelian ; swimming-pad- 

 dles. 4. Leiodon: L. Haumuriensis. 5. TaniwJiasaurus, Hector: 

 T. Oweni. The Ichthyosaurus is only represented by a single ver- 

 tebral centrum (/. australis) from Mount Potts, Province of Canter- 

 bury. 



Dr. Hector considers that the Amuri-Bluff section "includes a 

 lower formation than yet found in the Waiparia district, and that this 

 lower group can be distinguished by its included fossils." P. E., Jun.
