Raised Beaches in Teviotdale District, North Canterbury. By G. Jobberns, M.A., B.Sc., Christchurch Training College. [Read before the Canterbury Philosophical Institute, 3rd December, 1924; received by Editor, 31st December, 1924; issued separately, 13th March, 1926.] In view of Dr. Henderson's recent paper on the post-Tertiary coastal features of New Zealand (Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 55, pp. 580–99, 1924), the following note on raised beaches is compiled from observations of the coast between the Motunau and Waipara Rivers. The terraces here are so well defined that they may often be seen distinctly from the Port Hills across Pegasus Bay, and they have previously been briefly described by Professor Speight in his paper on the Lower Waipara Gorge (Trans. N.Z. Inst., vol. 44, pp. 221–33, 1912). Though intermittent uplift is clearly indicated along this coast, erosion has been so rapid as to cut away much of the original seaward extension of the lower terraces. For this reason it is very difficult to get any definite correlation between the river-terraces and the remnants of wave-levelled coastal platforms in the same district. The object of this paper is to record the heights and distribution of those platforms which are of marine origin. The Dovedale Area. The coastal marine terraces are divided into two groups by the Limestone Range, which reaches the coast about midway between the mouths of the Waipara and Motunau Rivers. This range, capped by a tilted and faulted block of Weka Pass limestone, extends from a point about three miles south-east of the Waipara Railway-station to the sea, through Montserrat, whence the limestone swings inland, continuing past Vulcan Hill to the north of the Motunau River.
