has been mentioned, at the Waingongoro the trend of the coast 
intersects the strike at such an angle that successively younger beds are 
encountered as one goes north and west. At the same time the thickness of 
old elaystone showing in the cliff is gradually narrowing, and at the mouth 
of the Kapuni Stream it has sloped below the present sea-level. Our hope 
of finding a succession of Tertiary beds which might connect the Whakino- 
Waihi horizon with that of older localities was thus frustrated on the 
мес line to the south of New Plymouth. Тһе country and coast-line 
rth of New Plymouth to the mouth of the Urenui Stream is fully 
survey did not offer us much encouragement, for “only thirty - four 
species of Mollusca are mentioned as occurring in the Onairo series, the 
youngest Tertiary series mentioned, and equivalent to the Upper Miocene. 
Apparently this list includes fossils from all outcrops in the district 
discovered by all observers up to the year 1912. No particular locality 
or station is mentioned by the writer of the bulletin as one in which a 
typical collection could be made. 
During our brief visit to the district we found a considerable number 
of fossils near Uriti, where there is an old disused metal-pit of shell-rock, 
own as Wray's quarry, situate on the road up the stream about half a 
mile from the township. Many of the fossils are poorly preserved, and 
species determination is therefore unrecorded. 
The following is a list of species, those extinct being marked with an 
asterisk :— 
* Ancilla pseudo-australis Tate * Limopsis zitteli Iher. 
nomia sp. * Macrocallista. sp 
* Antigona sp. Mactra scalpellum Reeve 
Calyptraea novae-zelandiae Less. Malletia australis (Q. & G.) 
 *Cardium spatiosum Hutt. * Natica gibbosa Hutt. 
*Cerithidea sp. Ostrea sp. 
*Cerithiopsis sp. *Paphia curta (Hutt.) 
*Cominella s Pecten aff. sectus Hutt. 
*Crepidula gregaria Sow. Psammobia aff. lineolata Gray 
*Dentalium solidum Hutt *Sinum sp. 
* Diplodonta ampla (Hutt. ) *Struthiolaria spinosa Hect. 
Dosinia subrosea (Gray) Turritella symmetrica Hutt. 
*(raleodea senex (Hutt.) Venericardia difficilis (Desh.) 
*Glycymeris globosa (Hutt.) *Verconella conoidea Zitt. 
* Lima paleata Hutt. *Verconella nodosa Moe 
* Lima sp. *Zymene aff. lepidus 
Of this total of thirty-two species, nine are Recent, the percentage 
of extinct von ems eis 71-9. Lima paleata is not recorded above 
the Meer lim Galeodea senez reaches its upper limits in the 
but is “found in the бере: Miocene of the Trelissick Basin. The other 
extinct species, though they occur at lower horizons in the Miocene, extend 
also to higher ones. The species mentioned seem to imply an horizon not 
lower than that of Target Gully beds, and m is in aecord with the 
suggestion due to the percentage of Recent specie
