to the same group of marine terraces, occur at many points along the 
northern part of this portion of the coast. They are 50-90 ft. igh near 
the mouth of the Waiapu River, 40-50 ft. at Tokomaru Bay, 90 ft. near 
Tolaga Bay (52, p. 24), 40 ft. at Makarori Point, and 60—70 ft. near Wairoa. 
here is a wave-cut bench rising to about 50 ft. near Cape Turnagain, and 
another at Cape Turakirae up to 95 ft. (90, p. 209). A marine terrace 
at Mukamuka is 50%. above sea-level, and one at Lake Onoke 70 ft.

Wairoa, and at several points about Palliser Bay (11, p. 85). A gravel- 
along the greater portion of the east coast of the North Island, but in 
the Herbertville and Gisborne districts (52, p. 25) dissected plateau-like 
uplands rising gradually from about 600 ft. were probably formed when 
the sea was some 500 ft. or 600 ft. higher. Inland along the Waiapu and 
Waipaoa Valleys (44, p. 32) are extensive terraces from 400 ft. to 600 ft. 
above the beds of these maturely graded rivers. 
Terraces and gravels in these valleys at a still higher level suggest that 
at one time the land was even lower. In the Waiapu Valley there is an 
extensive terrace 900 ft. and more above the adjacent stream-bed, and the 
even crests and flat tops of the ridges of the uplands between the Waiapu
