700 SUBANTARCTIC ISLANDS OF NEW ZEALAND. [Geology. 



appears to follow a plane of fracture, whicli in this case has a strike nearly east- 

 and-west. From the relative elevations of the limestone and the breccia, there was 

 roughly estimated to be a displacement of 500 ft. or more. 



PALAEONTOLOGY. 



But few fossils have hitherto been recorded from the rocks of Campbell Island. 

 The only identifications that have been recorded are those given by Filhol. Wald- 

 heimia campbellica and a Pentacrinoid stem are the only forms described, but mention 

 is made of the occurrence of several kinds of Foraminifera in the limestones. Hector 

 more lately states that fossil wood has been found, but no locality is mentioned. 



The locality from which Filhol obtained his fossils are — (1) the limestone at 

 Point Duris, near the head of Perseverance Harbour ; (2) the breccia near Terror 

 Point. Both of these places were searched carefully by the members of the expedi- 

 tion, and, in addition, a large number of fossils were found by Messrs. Chambers and 

 Des Barres from volcanic breccia at two places on the south coast-line. 



The following forms were represented in the collection : — 



CRINOIDEA. 



Pentacrinus, Miller. 

 Pentacrinus stellatus, Hutton, Cat. Marine Tert. Moll. & Echin. of N.Z. 

 Distrib. — Curiosity Shop, Chatham Islands. 



ECHINOIDEA. 



MiCRASTER, Ag., Brissopsis, Ag., sp. ind. 

 Log. — Limestone, Perseverance Harbour. 



BRACHIOPODA. 



Magellania, Bayle. 



Magellania lenticularis, Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. xxxvii, p. 476. 



Terehratula lenticularis, Deshayes, Mag. ZooL, 1841, pi. xii. Waldheimia len- 

 ticularis, Adams, Gen. of Pecent Moll., ii, 575. Magellania lenticularis, 

 var. ovalis, Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. xxxvii, pi. xlv, fig. 2. 



This appears to be identical with Waldheimia camphellica of Filhol. 



GASTROPODA. 



CONCHOTHYRA, Hutton. 



Conchothyra parasitica, Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. xxvi, p. 358, pi. xliii. 



The specimen is not well preserved, but it appears to be correctly placed here.
