After a lapse of nearly a quarter of a century Dr. Marshall and hiscolleagues view the Waipara sections, and, influenced by the apparentconformity of the Tertiary and Cretaceous strata, become enthusiasticadvocates of the Cretaceo-Tertiary succession. The contentions I usedin favour of the succession are now quoted against me. Of this1 do not complain. I did the same with Captain Hutton. To thevoung geologist there is always something attractive and alluringabout a Cretaceo-Eocene succession, and I have no doubt that itsrecrudescence will be periodic with every new generation of geologists. Dr. Marshall recognizes that the Ototara Stone is conformablyunderlain by a great suc
