IY. — At Malvern Mills, the following species have been found : — An 
Araucaria and a Dammar a, both also occurring at Shag Point ; a Myrica, 
representing the widely-spread Tertiary Myrica lignitum ; a Quercus, coining 
also from Shag Point ; a Fagus , corresponding to F. Willdnsoni, of the 
Australian Tertiary ; a Planera, which appears also at Shag Point and at 
Murderer’s Creek; a Clssophyllum, approaching the genera Cissites and 
Ampelophyllum. 
Y. — At Raca-cliff Gully the following species have been found — An 
Alnus and a Quercus, both also occurring at Shag Point; a Sapindus, corres- 
ponding to S. falcifolius , of the European, and to S. caudatus , of the American, 
as well as to S. Gossel, of the Australian Tertiary Elora. 
YI. — Prom Weka-pass a Daphnophyllum , related to D. cllipticum , 
Ilecr, has been collected. 
YIL— At Amuri a fragment of wood has been discovered. I referred 
it to Dammara Oweni, a species occurring also at Shag Point and at Malvern 
Hills. 
YIII. — At Murderer’s Creek the following species have appeared : — A 
Quercus, a Planera, a Cinnamomum, and a Cassia, all also collected from the 
preceding localities, I-V ; a Dryandra, closely related to D. acoutlloba, of the 
European, and to D. Benthami, of the Australian Tertiary Elora. 
The strata containing remains of Dicotyledons in New Zealand have 
been collectively called “ Cretaceo-Tertiary.” I have pointed out that 
some of the strata must be referred only to the Cretaceous, and the others 
only to the Tertiary Eormation. Whilst the latter have already been taken 
into consideration in the preceding exposition, the following few lines may, I 
trust, be considered permissible to explain the results of my investigations on 
the Eossil Elora of the Cretaceous Eormation. This flora has up till now 
been collected from four localities, as, Pakawau, Grey River, Wangapeka, and 
Reefton. It contains thirty- seven species, distributed into twenty-nine genera 
and seventeen families. Of these species, four are Cryptogamse, eight 
Coniferee, four Monocotyledons, thirteen Apetalse, and eight Dialypetalse. 
Gamopetake are wanting here. Several species seem to be the ancestors of 
Tertiary ones, particularly of the genera Aspldlum, Podocarpus, Dacry- 
dlum, Quercus, Fagus, Ulmus, Ficus, Cinnamomum, Dryandroidcs, Cerato- 
petalum, Cupanltes, &c. According to the closer relationship of some of 
these species to Tertiary ones, we may refer the abovementioned localities to 
the Upper Cretaceous Eormation.
