HENDERSON.—Post-Tertiary History of New Zealand. 587 
According to Hutton (9, p. 55) coastal terraces from 200 ft. to 300 ft. 
high occur between Kaikoura and Conway River. There is a rock-cut 
bench 300 ft. high south of the latter locality. Morgan (38, p. 24) has 
noted the presence of platforms about 200 ft. above the sea at Amuri, 
high (58, p. 174) occurs at Port Robinson, and a terrace from 200 ft. to 
300 ft. above the sea extends for about seven miles between Stoney- 
hurst and Motunau (13, p. 76). Near Oamaru the strand-plain is backed 
by old sea-cliffs from 150 ft. to 200 ft. high, from the top of which an 
pea È apn extends inland along the Waitaki Valley, rising from 230 ft. 
to o 50 ft. near Papakaio (100, p. 118). Park (51, p. 111) considers 
that s high-level plain was produced by an uplift of the land of about 
00 ft. There are several marine terraces near Seacliff between 200 ft. 
and 300 ft. high, and Marshall (115, p. 386) mentions a well-defined bench 
at Sandymount, near Dun 250 ft. above sea-level. 
McKay хе р. 177) observed a 500 ft. terrace at Amuri Bluff with shells 
that the sea was once higher is furnished by the plateau, 1,100-1, 
above the sea, on the eastern side of the Malvern Hills (9, p. 57). At High- 
cliffe, near Dunedin, Hutton long ago noted several rock-benches up to 
900 ft. above sea-level (112, p. 78). 
Dunedin to Jackson's Bay. 
A 10 ft. beach occurs at the mouth of Kaikorai Stream, a little south 
terraces near the mouth of Taieri River. The extensive flats at Inch- 
Clutha are from 10 ft. to 20 ft. above tidal river-channels. North of Port 
olyneux a sand-veneered wave-cut bench which rises gently from cliffs 
formed T sea erosion. Hector (109, p. 453) many dien ago noticed sea- 
worn caves on Steep-to Island, Preservation Inlet, 20 ft ; 
old channel between Chalky and Preservation Inlets | is now represented 
by a flat-bottomed gap 50 ft. above the sea in the separating mountainous 
peninsula (27, p. 33). At Gulches Head, in Preservation Inlet, there are, 
according to McKay (27, p. 45), gravels 130-140 ft. above tide-mark. Lake 
MeKerrow, north of Milford Sound, which is separated io the sea by a 
low gravel spit, has terraces from 10 ft. to 60 ft. high (3, p. 43).
