 Not known from any other locality. 



*Meoma (?) Ceaweoedi, Hutton, I. c. p. 42. 



Also found in the Weka-pass stone ; the Ototara stone ; Caver- 

 sham : Maerewhenua limestone, and many other places. Much like 

 Megalaster compressus, Duncan (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. 1877, xxxiii. 

 p. 61), which is the same as Pericosmus conipressus of M'^Coy. 



MeOMA (?) TUBEECULATA, HuttoU, l. C. p. 43. 



Eeported by Mr. M'^Kay. Also found in the Upper Eocene beds 

 at Trelissic Basin.. 



Betozoa. 



Sele^taeia hemisph^eica, Busk, MS. (?). 



Woods, Geol. Obs. in S. Australia, p. 73, pi. ' Possil Brj^ozoa,' 

 f. 3. Eeferred with doubt, as no specimens have been compared. 

 Our species is also found in the Upper Eocene rocks of Mount 

 Brown. 



Ccelenteeata. 



*Geaphtjlaeia (?) sENESCENs, Tate, Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. 

 xxxiii. p. 257. 

 Eound also in the limestones of Otakaika, Maerewhenua, and 

 Waihao. Identified by Dr. Hector after comparison with S. Aus- 

 tralian specimens (Geol. Eeports, 1881, p. xxix) ; he considers them, 

 however, to be spines of Cidaris. 



This list contains 48 species, of which 29 or 30, including both 

 the vertebrates, are also found in rocks regarded as Cretaceo-Ter- 

 tiary by the Geological Survey. Also 22 species are found in the 

 Pareora system or later, of which 14 are also found in the Creta- 

 ceo-Tertiary series. There are 10 or 11 species not found either in 

 the Cretaceo-Tertiary or in the Pareora. The Curiosity-Shop beds 

 are therefore more closely related palseontologically to the Cretaceo- 

 Tertiary than to the Pareora, while the number of peculiar species is 

 not sufficient to make them stand separately as an Upper Eocene 

 system. I wiU. now, therefore, take some other localities of Cretaceo- 

 Tertiary rocks for comparison.
