摘要:

The types and figured originals of fossils collected by the Novara Expedition, preserved in the Natural History Museum, Vienna, are tabulated, and missing specimens listed. Types described by Jaeger, Karrer, Reuss, Stache, and Zittel are in the Museum, but those described by Schwager, Stoliczka, and Unger are missing.

摘要:

Dr F. von Hochstetter's first New Zealand geological publication described the Drury Coalfield. Coa! measures, at the base of the Te Kuiti Group, contain dirty thin coal seams, and only about 8,000 tons of sub-bituminous coal have been mined in 100 years. The measures are overlain conformably by Whaingaroan Mangakotuku Siltstone in the south, and unconformably by Otaian Waitemata Group (including Papakura Limestone) in the north. Following block faulting, basalt was extruded up fault planes.

摘要:

The volcanic features of the Mangere-Ihumatao district, near the city of Auckland, are described and their relative ages and eruptive histories discussed. In all cases eruptions in the area occurred during the period of the Flandrian transgression, before sea-level had attained its present height and at Mangataketake have been dated by radiocarbon as occurring 29,000 ± 1,500 years ago. The location of craters associated with individual centres shows marked distribution along lines trending north of north-north-east.

摘要:

Buchia plicata(Zittel, 1864) is illustrated by topotypes from Waikato South Head, New Zealand (Puaroan Stage, Lower Tithonian).Buchia blanfordiana(Stoliczka) from the Spiti Shales of Himalaya, judged by the lectotype and topotypes, is closely related toB. plicata. Specimens from the Edgar Range, Canning Basin, Western Australia, previously reported asBuchia spitiensisandB. spitiensisextensa, are illustrated and re-identified asBuchiaaff.blanfordiana(Stoliczka).

摘要:

Petrographic, chemical, and X-ray study of indurated argillites associated with the Nelson ultramafic belt has indicated marked soda-metasomatism. The hardness of the argillites is due largely to albitisation, but additional toughness has been imparted, particularly in those specimens used by the Maoris for tool manufacture, by a felted crystallisation of minute tremolitic fibres. Hochstetter's hypothesis that the indurated argillites were included and altered by the ultramafites appears the most probable and is supported by comparison of the amphibolitisation of the argillites with nephritisation.

摘要:

Following the initial discoveries of Hochstetter in 1859, geological research in the province was for a long time almost entirely the work of officers of the early Geological Survey.

摘要:

The lower part of the Maitai Group, previously referred to as the limestone of Wooded Peak by Hochstettcr (1864), the Maitai Limestone by McKay (1878), and the Rangitoto Formation by Wellman (1957), is subdivided into five formations. The contact with the Te Anau rocks and ultramafics to the east is locally faulted.

摘要:

The diary of Dr (later Sir) David Monro, from February to November 1859, records a leading Nelson settler's part in early mining activities in Nelson and his contacts with Hochstetter during his visit to report on the geology and mineral resources of the young province.
