LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

Geological Survey Office,

Wellington. 3rd May, 1921.

8m,—

1 have the honour to transmit herewith Palaeontological Bulletin No. 8, entitled “ Lists of New Zealand Tertiary Mollusca . . . with Notes and a Review of Results, &c.” These lists were compiled by the late Mr. Henry Suter, Consulting Palaeontologist to the Geological Survey, and were transmitted by him to the Geological Survey shortly before his death in 1918. I have added various notes and have written the final chapter. Mr. J. Marwick, Assistant Geologist, has helped in reading the proofs.

The Bulletin contains 107 pages of letterpress, and two maps showing fossil localities, &c., in the North and South Islands respectively. Although the information given is necessarily of such a nature as not to appeal to the general public, its circulation among scientific workers is desirable in order to advance our knowledge of the geology of New Zealand. It is perhaps not necessary to point out that the science of geology is as yet only in its infancy, and that every addition to the sum of his knowledge will aid the economic geologist in the solution of those problems connected with mineral deposits which are by universal consent assigned to him. Among these problems may here be mentioned the discovery of new coalfields and, possibly, of oilfields. Both these objects are of the highest importance, and both will be greatly assisted by a full knowledge of our Tertiary fossils.

1 have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant

Director, New Zealand Geological Survey.

Minister of Mines, Wellington.

PREFACE.

The great collections of fossils from all parts of New Zealand made during the earlier years of the New Zealand Geological Survey attest the importance attached by Sir James Hector, the first Director, to paheontological research. Unfortunately, he was prevented from carrying to completion his plans for preparing and publishing a number of palaeontological reports. Had this been done not only would our general knowledge of the geology of this country have been much advanced, but those economic researches towards which the attention of the Geological Survey has been rightly, but too exclusively, directed would have been greatly benefited. Prior to 1911, however, except for the early labours of the late Captain F. W. Hutton, very little had been done towards the classification and description of the fossil collections, notwithstanding the urgent need for this work, as was emphatically pointed out in 1904 by the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science, and by the late Mr. Augustus Hamilton, at that time Director of the Dominion Museum.*

In 1911, with the appointment of Dr. J. A. Thomson (now Director of the Dominion Museum) as Palaeontologist to the Geological Survey, a period of progress began, and the present bulletin is the eighth of a series dealing with the fossil collections. In 1913 the late Mr. Henry Suter, the author of that monumental work the Manual of the New Zealand Mollusca, was engaged as Consulting Palaeontologist, and during the next five years, except for two periods of six months each, was employed wholly on work connected with Tertiary Mollusca. Having examined Hutton s types (so far as these were available) and' revised his descriptions {Paleontological Bulleiim Nos. 2 and 3), Mr. Suter took in hand the identification of the Tertiary Mollusca in the Geological Survey collections. For this work, on account of his unrivalled knowledge of the Recent New Zealand Mollusca, he was well equipped ; and as the result of his labours many thousand determinations were made, and a large number of new species distinguished. Not quite two-thirds of the latter are described in Paleotdolog ical Bulletin No. 5. The present bulletin contains lists of most of the identifications made prior to the end of 1917, but those made during 1918 will be published elsewhere.

One cannot too strongly emphasize the value of the spade-work done by Mr. Suter in the almost uncultivated field assigned to him. Even where some work had been done in that field it had, one might say, almost reverted to its original state; so that in most respects Mr. Suter’s work was that of a pioneer, preparing the ground for his successors, and some of the refinements of modem palaeontology had necessarily to be dispensed with. Thus an inspection of the suites of specimens determined by him shows that wide limits were given to most of the species, many of which therefore correspond bo the “ aggregate species ” of the botanist. Mr. Suter’s familiar acquaintance with the Recent Mollusca no doubt led to many fossils which closely resemble living species being identified with those species, but in a number of cases close examination of well-preserved suites will certainly show that varietal and even specific differences exist. Thus, until the aggregate species are split up and the finest possible distinctions made, close zoning of the New Zealand Tertiary strata cannot be expected; but, as stated on page 98, broad divisions can now be made with

* See Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 42, 1910, pp. 52-54. It should bo observed that, as stated by Mr. Hamilton, the late Mr. Alexander McKay spent some years from 1904 onwards in re-sorting, relabelling, and cataloguing the mineral and fossil collections of the Geological Survey, a work which has greatly facilitated their description.

a considerable degree of confidence, very largely as the result of Mr. Suter’s work. No doubt, too, the percentages of Recent species in the lists now published will be reduced by future workers. This statement applies especially to the pre-Awamoan faunas.

Although the contention of most latter-day biologists that a species ought to be defined as narrowly as possible is a sound one, yet in the early stages of palaeontological research one may best proceed on a somewhat different principle. The geological survey of a new country requires a rapid, if imperfect, clearing of the palaeontological ground, so that the field-geologist, wherever he goes, may not have to depend for his correlations wholly on stratigraphical and lithological considerations. As geological survey advances, the need for refinement in palaeontological methods becomes ever and ever greater. Largely on account of Mr. Suter’s work the time has arrived when narrow definitions and exact identifications of fossil species are necessary. Of even greater importance is the collection of large fossil suites from well-defined stratigraphical horizons, a work in which the field-geologist may well be expected to take the greater part. There is room, however, for many workers other than the officers of the official Geological Survey. The present publication, it is believed, will be of material assistance to all these in indicating numerous places where fossils may be found, and the fauna that may be expected to occur. So far as can be foreseen, it will not be necessary in the near future to publish such extensive fossil lists as those given in this bulletin. It is intended, however, whenever important fossil collections have been examined and the determinations cannot conveniently be published in one of the ordinary geological bulletins of the Geological Survey, to make copies of the lists, which will be communicated, on request, to those who are actively engaged in research connected with the geology of New Zealand.

LISTS OF NEW ZEALAND TERTIARY MOLLUSCA.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

Dobing the past few years many thousand specimens of Tertiary Mollusca have been identified by the late Mr. Suter, and the need for publishing the results in a form convenient for reference has become increasingly apparent. Accordingly Mr. Suter, in 1918, shortly before his death, prepared the following lists, with the names arranged alphabetically, and the localities in approximate order from north to south. An asterisk prefixed to the name of the species indicates that it is also found Recent. The writer of this note, except in the case of the Oamaru fossils collected by Professor Park and Mr. 6, H. Uttley, and of some of Dr. J. A. Thomson’s collections, has added the supposed age of the fossils, and as a rule the horizon or formation from which they were collected. In many cases additional remarks, some of them from the late Mr. Alex. McKay’s manuscript lists of localities, of which two are in existence, together with references to the literature, are also given. Some of the lists have been previously published, but in a few instances with slight alterations or additions not made by Mr. Suter. The various lists arc now all brought together, and published in the same form as supplied by Mr. Suter in July, 1918, except that some of the headings are modified so as to define the localities more exactly, or to bring them into accordance with McKay’s manuscript lists. In one case (Loc. No. 637)f a brachiopod named by Dr. Thomson has been added by the writer to the list. There are also two lists in which Mr. Suter has named a brachiopod.J Any other alterations or additions are of a trifling nature. Mr. Suter’s carefully compiled lists arc almost free from slips of the pen, and hardly a letter had to be changed.

In many cases only one or two isolated specimens from a large or fairly large collection have been identified by Mr. Suter. Most of these came either from the Dominion Museum show-cases, or from the collection of pectens sent to Professor Ralph Tate, of Adelaide, many years ago, and

returned only within the last few years through the good offices of the Rev. W. Howchin, F.G.S. Again, some fairly large collections have been dispersed, and others consist mainly of poor material.

The fossils identified by Mr. Suter during the first half of 1918 were mostly comprised in recent collections from the North Taranaki and South-west Auckland districts. lasts of these will be published in forthcoming bulletins dealing with the geology of the areas in which the collections were made.

Most of the fossils identified by Mr. Suter have either been packed away again or at the time of writing had not been unpacked, and hence have not been seen by the writer or other members of the Geological Survey staff. For this reason, and for others that need not be mentioned, the writer has not always been able to give as much additional information concerning the collections as is desirable.

During the period of Mr. Suter’s engagement with the Geological Survey, collections were submitted to him for identification by Dr. J. A. Thomson, Dr. P. Marshall, Messrs. M. C. Gudex, A. Purchas, and J. A. Bartrum, the understanding being that lists of identifications and topotypes of new species (when possible) were to be supplied to the Geological Survey. Some of these lists, as indicated above, have been previously published, but wen- included by Mr. Suter in his manuscript, and for the sake of convenient reference are now reprinted. The various changes in nomenclature that will be observed were, of course, made by Mr. Suter, and represent his final views.

The name “ Komiti Bluff ’ applied in old Geological Survey reports to the locality where Dr. Marshall made this collection is somewhat in error, Kcmiti Bluff being several miles to the westward. (See P. Marshall, Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 49, 1917, pp. 435-37.) According to Cox, Hector made a collection here in 1874. Cox himself collected a considerable number of fossils in January, 1880, and a further collection was made by Park in March, 1885. These collections have not been examined in detail, but Cox {Rep. of Geol. Explor. during 1879-80, No. 13, 1881, p. 33), and Park {Rep. of Geol.

This locality seems to be a former “shelly beach,” washed-up shells accumulating and being buried in sand and mud. There are comparatively few Gastropods, the majority of specimens consisting of single valves of Pelecypods.

Age: Probably late Miocene and Lower Pliocene horizons are represented. In MS. McKay places the beds at Duncan’s in the Awatere Series, a correlation that seems to be correct.

McKay states in MS. that the collection was made from the lower limestone on the seaward side of Scinde Island (which is not an island, but an isolated hill, now’ commonly known as Bluff Hill). Cox appears to have made a considerable collection at Scinde Island in 1876. (See Rep. of Geol. Explor. during 1874-76, No. 9, 1877 pn. 100-1.)

Ihe list given above, and preceding lists, prove McKay’s contention that all the beds at Scmde Island are of Pliocene age. Hutton {Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 18, 1886, pp. 329-30) found 61 per cent, of Recent species in the lower limestone at Scinde Island, but considered it to be of Pareora age. He evidently thought that further collecting would reduce the percentage of Recent species, rather than increase it.

Maclra chrydcea Sut.

This specimen is from an immense block of fine calcareous sandstone embedded in volcanic agglomerate. This block is mentioned by Clarke ( N.Z . Geol Sure. Bull. No. 14, p. 15), who speaks of it as limestone. He collected a number of fossil specimens, but unfortunately these were lost, and the writer of this paragraph could find nothing identifiable except casts of the fossil mentioned above. The interest attaching to the block of sandstone containing the fossils lies not only in its size and mode of occurrence, but also in the fact that it belongs to a lower horizon than any sedimentary rock known to exist in situ near the surface in the New Plymouth Subdivision. (See, however, the following list.)

These specimens were forwarded to the Geological Survey in November, 1910, bv Mr J Henchman, manager at the Huiroa oil-bore (fifteen miles north-east of Stratford), ft is fairly certain that their horizon is well down in the Miocene. The exact determination of that horizon is obviously important.

Ihis list appears to represent a somewhat miscellaneous collection of Wanganui fossils sent to Mi. Suter several years ago. Portions of the collections made by John Buchanan in 1800 (Logs. 91 and 92) are probably included in the material.

Struthiolaria luberculata Hutt.

Age: McKay remarks in MS. that S. luberculata indicates a Miocene age. This statement is confirmed to some extent by McKay’s brief list of shells from beds underlying the shell limestone, Taueru (Rep. of Geol. Explor. during 1874-76. No. 9, 1877, p. 53), and Morgan’s list of species from shelly conglomerate and limestone published in “ Petroleum and other Minerals in Eastern Wairarapa District,” Pari. Paper C.-16, 1910, p. 2. The proofs of this paper were not submitted to the writer, and consequently it contains many typographical errors. The list of fossils, corrected according to Suter’s nomenclature, is as follows ;

This is an isolated example from a collection of sixty-one specimens, besides types described by Hutton (McKay, MS.). The fossils themselves indicate a Miocene age, as will be seen by reference to McKay’s lists (loc. cil., p. 53). The rugged hills known as the Taipos, however, are formed mainly of a thick-bedded, hard sandstone, apparently non-fossiliferous, and probably of pre-Tertiary (certainly pre-Miocene) age. (See Morgan in Pari. Pajwr C.-16, 1910, p. 2, and also Thomson in Bth Ann. Rep. of N.Z. Geol. Sun., part of Pari. Paper C.-2, 1914 p. 164.)

Age: Tertiary. The Grey Marls of Weka Pass, Amuri Bluff, Clarence Valley, &c., wen supposed by Hector and McKay to form the closing member of the Formation. It is now certain that they are purely Tertiary in age, but from time to tim< calcareous mudstones in many localities, and without doubt from varying horizons, have beer assigned to the Grey Marl. Some of these rocks are Miocene, others probably pre-Miocene Thus the term “ Grey Marl ” is practically without age significance. See J. A. Thomsor in 6th Ann. Rep. N.Z Geol. Surv., Pari.

This collection was made near the present bridge over the Buller on the main road, but whether from the limestone that there outcrops or underlying calcareous claystone is not known. An examination of the matrix of the fossils (which have not been seen by the writer of this note) would clear up the point.

McKay seems to have made the collection in the latter part of 1874. See Rep. of Geol. Explor. during 1874-76, No. 9, 1877, pp. 36 el seq. Lyell mentioned on p. 40.

Reference: McKay, loc. cit., p. 101 (Inangahua Crossing). There is some reason for believing that the Inangahua limestone is, on the whole, at a somewhat higher horizon than the Cobden limestone, which may very fairly be assigned to the Ototaran, and thus correlated with the Oamaru or Ototara limestone.

Notwithstanding the high percentage of Recent species in the above list, a correlation with the Upper Oamaruian (Awamoan) seems to be justified according to our present knowledge. In MS. McKay remarks, “ The brachiopods are identical [with] or very similar to those of the Ototara limestone at Kakanui Mouth, Otago.” It is noteworthy that Pecten beethami and Pecten triphooki have not been recorded in other collections from the Trelissick Basin. Both, however, occur in the Oamaruian of the Oamaru district.

“ The tuffs are followed by the upper limestone. The fossils were collected from the top of these tuffs. It is not certain whether they represent the lower or upper tuffs, this depending on whether the absence of the lower limestone is due to removal by denudation, as Hutton thought, or to non-deposition owing to volcanic conditions, as 1 think possible.”— J.

Mr. Suter’s heading to this list originally contained the following words, placed in brackets: “ Greensands under Waitaki stone, fide Park, 1905.” Reference to Trans. N.Z. Inst,, vol. 37, 1905, pp. 532—33, shows that the statement attributed to Park is not explicitly made, though it may be held to follow from his remarks. On the other hand, Park’s section of 1886 (Rep. of Geol. Explor. during 1885, No. 17, 1886, p. 174) shows Pareora beds east of, and necessarily above, the “ Waitaki stone,” as well as to the west, where possibly they may not be downfaulted, as supposed by von Haast in 1879 ( Geology of Canterbury and Westland, p. 310), McKay in 1877 (Rep. of Geol. Explor. during 1876-77, No. 10, p. 53, and section! “ Nortll Bank of Kakahu River,” opposite p. 50), and by Park himself in 1885. At present there is no record known to the writer indicating that the collection from Loc. 577 was not made from indubitable Pareoran beds. The list of species identified by Mr. Suter strongly confirms the Pareoran horizon, thus suggesting also that Park’s section of 1886 is more correct than his 1905 section. It may profitably be compared with the following list of species from an horizon known to be below the limestone :

All the shells are embedded in a hard calcareous matrix, and many could not be identified with any approach to correctness. If all could be named, the percentage of Recent shells would no doubt be lower.

In "MS. McKay states that the collection was made from beds appearing on the right bank of the Waihao River and in a small creek leading up to the higher part of Mount Harris.

Reference: McKay, Rep. of Geol Explor. during 1881, No. 14, 1882, pp. 56, 69, See. (no special mention). The so-called “ Grey Marls ”of the South Canterbury and Oamaru districts cannot be correlated with the Grey Marl above the Weka Pass stone. In making the correlation McKay relied on their conformity to the underlying limestone and palaeontological evidence (not stated). In 1887, however, he found that the supposed Grey Marls underlay the Waihao limestone. See Rep. of Geol. Explor. during 1886-87, No. 18, 1887, pp. 98, 99, &c.

McKay’s view is roughly the same as Park’s—namely, that the Otekaieke limestone is younger than the Ototara stone, but he considered the latter rock to be of Cretaceo-Tertiary age, not middle Tertiary, as now commonly believed.

Taken as a whole, the Castle Hill shaft and Wangaloa beds, according to the preceding lists, contain a fauna of seventy-seven species, of which thirteen, or 16-9 per cent., are also Recent. How far Mr Suter’s identifications are correct is at present a matter of opinion. Many of the specimens are imperfect and embedded in a hard matrix. On close examination some were found to differ slightly, but perceptibly, from the Oamaruian and Recent species with which they have been identified.

In a report on the Upper Cretaceous Gasteropods of New Zealand (not yet published) Dr. Otto Wilckens advances the opinion that the various species of Pugnellus described by Marshall and Trechmaim are identical with or merely varieties of Conchothyra parasitica. This, if correct, supports the view that the Wangaloa beds are of Cretaceous age. On the other hand, Wilckens thinks that Conchothyra may have survived into Tertiary times.

Recent examination of the molluscan faunas in the marine strata underlying the Shag Point and Green Island coal-measures has led to the conclusion that they are of Cretaceous age. This has generally been admitted to be true of Shag Point, but the age of the Green Island coalmeasures has been disputed. As in all probability the Kaitangata beds are contemporaneous with those of Green Island and Shag Point, the writer is constrained to believe, at least tentatively, that the former are of Upper Cretaceous age, and therefore practically to come into line with Park, Marshall, Trechraann, and Thomson. Such a belief involves the discarding of Recent species from Mr. Suter’s Wangaloa and Castle Hill shaft lists. If, however, the presence of Recent species in the Kaitangata fauna is accepted as a fact, one would more reasonably assign it to the Eocene than to any earlier or later period.

It may be mentioned that the Wangaloa and Castle Hill shaft collections of the Geological Survey have been sent to Mr. R. B. Newton, F.G.S., lately of the British Museum, who has kindly consented to examine and report upon them.

CHAPTER Ilf.

REVIEW OF RESULTS; CLASSIFICATION OF SEDIMENTARY FORMATIONS.

(By P. G. Morgan.)

Important results, the full effect of which cannot yet be foreseen, follow from the palaeontological work done on New Zealand Cretaceous and Tertiary fossils during the past few years. The principal workers in New Zealand have been Mr. Henry Suter, Dr. J. A. Thomson* and Dr. 1. Marshall ; whilst abroad Mr. Henry Woods, of Cambridge University, and Mr. Frederick Chapman, of Melbourne, have made valuable additions to our knowledge.f Many others have contributed to the progress that has undoubtedly been made. In this connection those who have collected fossils in their own time and at their own expense deserve special mention.

The revision of Hutton’s types of Tertiary Mollusca, the description of a large number of new species, and the thousands of specific determinations made by Mr. Suter probably constitute the most important and most directly profitable of all the contributions to New Zealand paleontology as yet made. In giving a summary of the results that have followed or are likely to follow from Mr. Suter’s work, the writer would like to make it clear that others have assisted in bringing about those results, but he hopes to be pardoned for not making direct references to their work in the following paragraphs.

Mr. Suter’s determinations enable broad divisions of the Tertiary to be made with considerable confidence. These .ore :

Pliocene (Castlecliffian, Petanian, Waitotaran)

Late Miocene (Pareoran or Awamoan).

Middle Miocene (Ototaran, including Hutchinsonian).

Early Miocene (Waiarekan)

In addition an Eocene horizon may be distinguished on the west coast of the South Island (Westport, Greymouth, Ac.), and possibly at Weka Pass (North Canterbury).

Ihe chief criteria for these divisions are {]) the assemblage of fossils, and (2) the percentages of Recent species. As yet no strict line between any two adjacent divisions can he drawn by means of palaeontology alone. Thus in the Awatere district and in some other localities the Late Miocene strata pass, or appear to pass, into the Pliocene without a break, either palaeontological or etrafdgraphical. Again, there is no decided paheontological break between the Eocene and the Miocene, and according to some New Zealand geologists there is no stratigraphical break either in this part of the geological succession or anywhere between the Middle Cretaceous (Clarentian) and the Pliocene. Broadly it may be said that the Tertiary faunas are continuous,t but this statement need not, and with the writer does not, imply that there are no unconformities of any kind. On the contrary, there are certainly local unconformities in the stratigraphic columns, and one or more of these may be tolerably widespread.

Ihe determinations of Mr. Sitter, taken as a whole, enable one to say that in no known locality is there any mingling of Cretaceous and Tertiary faunas. All his lists indicate a purely Tertiary facies,§ and the only localities for which this statement will be disputed are Wangaloa and the neighbouring Castle Hill shaft, Kaitangata. In the former locality Marshall believes that he has recognized a fauna with distinct Cretaceous (Maestrichtian or Haitian) affinities. The fauna at the Castle Hill shaft in beds overlying the Kaitangata coal-measurea is evidently the same as that at Wangaloa. The lists given on former pages, and the patters

by Marshall and Trechmann which are cited, will enable the reader to form his own opinion. New Zealand geologists at least to this extent : that the Wangaloa beds are pre-Oamaruian in age. There is also substantial agreement with the view that no part of the Oamaru Formation contains Cretaceous fossils, or need be placed in a Cretaceo-Tertiary series, as was done by Hector and McKay. Marshall, as one of the upholders of a continuous conformable succession from Cretaceous to Pliocene, may possiblv dissent to some extent. His view still seems to be that Cretaceous and Tertiary faunas flourished at the same time, the former in deep water, the latter in the shallow' waters close to the Early Tertiary coast-line. Apparently he thinks, however, that at Wangaloa mingling of these faunas took place—a view that is not now held by any one else of prominence, and, as formerly advanced by Hector and McKay, has, rightly or wrongly, been scouted by several European writers.

Thomson claims that certain species of Oamaruian Brachiopoda are probably confined to a comparatively narrow vertical range, and therefore that fairly close zoning can be done by means of their aid ; but he has not yet published all his evidence, and in the meantime it may be said, as was implied in a previous paragraph, that only broad zoning can be done by means of palaeontological data. At present it would hardly be safe to name a single molluscan species that is confined to any one stage of the Tertiary succession. In the case of the Oamam Formation, at any rate, the stages cannot be distinguished w r ith certainty by the molluscs alone, unless a considerable collection can be made.

The utility of using percentages of Recent species in determining horizons has often been questioned, but the fact that LyeH’s method has been found satisfactory in Europe and North America indicates that its use in New Zealand is justifiable. It is true, however, that the percentage alone is not a safe guide, and possibly there has been a tendency in New Zealand to exaggerate its value, and more especially to neglect some or all of the following additional criteria, which ought to be considered when correlations are to be made :

(1.) The number of species certainly identified must be considerable

(2.) The beds to be correlated ought to be lithologically similar, and laid down under similar conditions of depth of water, &c.

(3.) Stratigraphical evidence must be favourable, or at least not opposed.

(4.) It is desirable that the localities should not be widely separated, as, for example, are North Auckland and Otago.

(5.) The personal equations of the palaeontologists making the identifications have to be taken into account.

Among other factors affecting the percentage of Recent species found in a collection are the following:—

(a.) Imperfect collecting. In particular, the larger shells are sure to be collected,, whilst many of the small shells mav be overlooked.

(6.) It seems to be a fact, as observed by Hutton in 1886, that Recent species are generally more plentiful and more widely distributed than the extinct forms. This presumably is because those species which have survived were better adapted to the conditions and had more vigorous constitutions than those that

have died out. (c.) Some shells are less liable to decay than others, especially in certain matrices. Where solution of calcium carbonate is going on, large thick shells mav survive whilst small thin shells disappear.

( d .) Some collections are made for special purposes and are not wholly representative For example, the collector may select only those species which he believes have not previously been recorded, or a beginner may select only the bestpreserved shells.

If, owing to the paucity of fossils, only a small collection of, say, twenty or thirty species can be made in a given bed. an application of the theory of probability shows that the percentage of Recent species is likely roughly to conform to the true percentage in the contemporaneous fauna ; and this statement becomes almost exact if the percentage of Recent

113

species approaches fifty. In the case of Oamaru faunas, with from 20 to 40 per cent, of Recent species, the probable error of an assumption on the basis indicated will not be so great as to prevent a distinction being made between Upper Oamaru (Pareora) beds and Lower Oamaru (Ototaran and Waiarekan) beds. Even where a considerable collection could be but has not been made, a small collection, if selected with impartiality, is likely to conform to the law' of averages.

The fact that all the molluscan determinations given in this bulletin have been made by the one palaeontologist enables the personal equation to be eliminated when comparisons are made between the lists: it has to be considered only when the percentage of Recent species is in question, or comparison is made with the determinations of other workers.

Huttonf many years ago showed that when proper precautions are observed the percentage of Recent species in a Tertiary fauna has a real value. A moment's consideration will show that essentially the same principle is generally followed when comparisons are made between two or more wholly extinct faunas. If numerous species, some of which are known or believed to have a restricted time - range, are common to all the faunas, they are considered to be of the same, or nearly the same, age. It is true that wonderful work has been done by Buckraan and others in establishing zones by means of the intensive study of a single group of organisms, such as the Ammonites; but it is doubtful if the highly specialized zoning methods have, or can have, such an extensive application to the problems of geology as the broader method of comparing faunas as a whole. Marshall,J though at times inclined to deprecate the method of correlation by means of percentages, has also stated the conditions under which it may, in his opinion, be safely used, and in one of his latest papers§ appears to be a fairly strong supporter of it.

Mr. Suter’s work has helped to establish, or at least points to the probability of, the following conclusions :

(1.) The Tertiary age of the bituminous coal-measures of the west coast of the South Island. These strata, it is now admitted, have nothing in common with the Upper Cretaceous (Senonian) beds of Amuri Bluff. &c.

(2.) The pre-Oamaruian age of the Kaitangata coal-measures.

J ii' jjic vcuuoi uiaji ogc yji iuv uoiwugow. (3.) The Tertiarv age of the Weka Pass stone.

* (4.) As already stated, the total absence of Cretaceous forms from the Oamaru Formation.

(5.) The Miocene age of the Oamaru Formation, with the proviso that the lowest beds mav be Oligocene.

(6.) The correctness or otherwise of many correlations made in past years betwee: Tertiary strata in widely separated localities.

Besides helping to bring about a more general agreement as to correlation among New Zealand geologists, Mr. Suter’s work has important economic bearings, especially in connection with the coal deposits of New Zealand. The known coal resources of this Dominion are not great, and the time is approaching when extensive exploration for hidden coalfields by means of boring will have to be made. Until correct correlations between the known coal-seams are made, and until surface strata can be correctly identified, work of this kind cannot be intelligently or efficiently directed. During the past few years considerable advance in establishing a firm foundation for the scientific prospecting of our hidden coalfields has been made. It. is imperative, however, that there should be no falling-off in detailed geological survey, or in the collection and precise identification of Tertiary fossils.

The following tentative classification of New Zealand Cretaceous and Tertiary sedimentary strata nearly expresses the present views of the New Zealand Geological Survey. For the sake of completeness it is followed by a tentative classification of pre-Cretaceous strata.

TABLE II.—CLASSIFICATION OF PRE-CRETACEOUS STRATA.

Remarks on Classification Tables.

If these tables are compared with any of Hector’s classifications —for example, that on pages 39-40 of the Outline o] New Zealand Geology. 1886—it will be seen that the most important differences arise from the abandonment of the Cretaceo-Tertiary hypothesis. The Waitemata and Ototara Series, together with the bituminous coal-measures of the west coast of the South Island and the overlying marine strata, are transferred from the CretaceoTertiary to Miocene and Eocene formations. The Te Ante Series is regarded as Pliocene, the A water* Series as partly Pliocene, and the Mount Brown Series, Ac., as Miocene (and perhaps in part Oligocene). Many names of local application used by Hector, McKay, and others could not conveniently be included in the table. The term ’ Buffer Series ” is not likely ever to be used again, and the term “ Amuri Series ” at present, does not appear to have any useful application^

The classification adopted bears a strong resemblance in its mam outlines to tnat set out by HuttonJ in 1900. The essential differences lie in the exclusion of the glacier period from the Pliocene, and the introduction of an Eocene system. The Wanganui Series or System, also, is recognized as including the Older as well as the Younger Pliocene.

If compared with Park’s? classification of 1910 the present classification will be lounci to differ very little in essential principles. The differences in detail are obvious, and therefore it is not necessary specifically to mention them.

Marshall's!! classification of 1912 la a very simple one, which superficially differs from that now advanced mainly by placing the oldest rocks of New Zealand definitely in the Arch,ran, and the Maitai Series or System in the Trias-Jura. There are, however, very

103

marked differences in the application of the classification. The Otago schists are considered to be of Triassic age, and the Waipara Series is regarded as a subdivision of the Oamaru System.

In 1917 proposed the term “ Notooene ” as an age-name for the “ covering strata ” or “ younger rock-series ' of New Zealand. This term is intended to include the Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary strata of this country, and if, as some believe, there is no stratigraphic break between the Cretaceous and the Tertiary it will probably be accepted by most geologists 4 It will also be useful if any break that exists is of a minor character. The writer cannot adopt the former view, but has an ojk*ii mind regarding the extent of the stratigraphic and palaeontological hiatus that he believes does exist between Mesozoic and Tertiary, Thomson§ has also proposed adjectival names applicable to the divisions of the Notocene. These terms are quoted in the classification, and most of them are likely to be generally adopted, notwithstanding the objection that may well be raised by purists in language to the combination of an English (or Latin) suffix and a Maori name. Hybrid terms have previously been used by Park, and it appears useless to oppose a practice which is convenient, and against which only sentimental objections can be urged. One of the proposed Oamaruian stage-names, the Hutchinsonian. is not likely to be of much use. Outside the Oamaru district the corresponding beds are recognizable, if at all, with difficulty, and no harm would be done by merging the Hjitchinsonian with the Middle Oamaru or Ototaran stage. Thomson almost fails to recognize the stages present in the older Tertiary rocks of the west coast of the South Island, an area that has been geologically surveyed in detail, and stratigraphicallv placed on a sure basis. That the whole of the Mawheranui Series belongs to lower horizons than any part of the Oamaru System as develop'd near Oamaru might well be regarded as proved. It is true that the beds of the Kaiatan and Islandian stages are somewhat poor in recognizable marine organisms, whilst the Brunner and Paparoa beds (the latter recognized by Thomson as forming a stage) have only plant fossils, but nowhere else in New Zealand has so much careful field-work been done as in the districts where these beds occur.

Several new names have been introduced in the classification. The terms “Te Arai,” “ Wheao,” and “ Mangatu ” Series will be found in Geological Bulletin No. 21, dealing with the Gisborne district. The adjective “ Atiuan,” from Atiu Point, Kaikoura Peninsula, is intended to cover the Amuri limestone, for which a stage or alternative name, notwithstanding its poverty in fossils, seems desirable. Possibly a better term may hereafter be found, and in the meantime no claim for priority is advanced. Waiautoa is the Maori name for the Clarence River, and the adjectival form “ Waiautoan ” is a mere synonym of “ Clarentian.” If Maori names are to be employed as much as possible in New Zealand geological • nomenclature, then Waiautoan may be used, but on other grounds preference ought to be given to Clarentian. No brief for the Maori term is held, but it may as well be suggested now as later.

One other matter requires discussion here—the use of European time-names in the classification. Objection to the European terms has been taken on the ground that there is not sufficient evidence to show that the New Zealand formations correspond exactly to the European formations with which they are intended to be correlated. It may be admitted at once that exact correlation cannot be made; but there are some good reasons for using the European time-names. In the first place, it is abundantly clear that the latter are by no means as precisely defined as is inferred by the argument

+ Thomson, J. A., Diastrophic and other Considerations in Classification and Correlation, and the Existence of Minor Diastrophic Districts in the Notocene, Tran*. X.Z. Inst., vol. 49. 1917, pp. 397-413. i Marshall has lately stated objections to the use of the word “ Notocene,” and suggests that some other expression is desirable in order to convey the intended meaning. At the same time he prefers to use the term “Oamaru System " in the same sense.- ** Fauna of the Hampden Beds and Classification of the Oamaru System,” Trans. X.Z Inst , vol. 51, 1919, pp. 226-50 (see p. 240). § Loc. cit.f pp. 408-11.

117

It is to be hoped that no one will suppose that the writer in advocating the use of the chief European time-names wishes to infer that diastrophic movements throughout the world have always been contemporaneous. This must be left an open question ; but there is reason to believe, at least tentatively, that the major diastrophic movements were world-wide, and that minor movements in one area have generally been reflected by similar movements somewhere else. It is possible, for example, that each minor deformation in New Zealand can be correlated with a similar event in some other part of the Pacific region.

mentioned above. In practice a certain amount of latitude is taken and allowed. There is really, in the present state of our knowledge, no reason why the time-names “ Cretaceous,” Eocene, Miocene,” &c., should not be considered somewhat clastic terms. No one has ever supposed that the New Zealand Miocene corresponds exactly to the Miocene of England or to the Miocene of any other country. To be sure, the New Zealand Miocene (Oamaruian) might be called the “ Noto-Miocene,” the New Zealand Eocene the “ NotoEocene,” and so on ; but nothing can be gained by this terminology, and it might well cause inconvenience when comparing, say, New Zealand and South American formations. One advantage of using a measure of European nomenclature is that thereby the world-wide scope of geology is emphasized. An important practical advantage is that it enables European geologists who have not visited this country more easily to grasp the broad outlines of our geology, and assists New Zealand students, especially beginners, in making use of foreign text-books and other literature. Geologists in outside countries show a very evident preference for the European time-names when they’ touch on New Zealand geology : hence it is clear that the retention of the chief European names tends to co-operation. The writer, however, must deprecate the use of the minor subdivisions of the European time-scale, for this implies an exactness in correlation which is wanting. It is somewhat strange that those writers on New Zealand geology who are most inclined to discard the Tertiary time-names used in Europe have adopted the terms “ Cenomanian,” “ Senonian,” “ Maestrichtian,” and Danian without apparent hesitation. The introduction of several of these terms in the classification table is not to be regarded as giving an unqualified approval to their use. Moreover, it is in all cases desirable to give prominence to the series or system name approximately corresponding to the European time-name.
