Vol. 58.] PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. Ixxxv. 
Prof. W. Boyp Dawxtns exhibited a series of Photographs and 
Specimens of Sandworn Pebbles, collected by Lady Constance Knox 
in New Zealand. The district in which the specimens occur is 
near the coast of North Island, in the neighbourhood of the River 
Waitotara, on a tableland about 250 feet above sea-level :— 
‘On this tableland, above high cliffs, are rolling sand-dunes, which are con- 
tinually shifting with every storm, and extend for several miles along the coast ; 
among them are to be found interesting kitchen-middens. Directly inland from 
the sand-dunes is the district covered with sandworn stones, extending over an 
area of some miles. At first these stones are few and scattered, but they are 
found to increase in number as one approaches the Waitotara River. Pro- 
jecting from the surface are masses of stratified rock, composed of shell- 
conglomerate: these also have been worn by the wind.’
