Hochstetter says : The bottom of theMokau Valley is composed of tertiary clays, impervious to water;while at the slope of the hills tabular limestones protrude, theheights themselves being formed of trachyte tuff. These tertiary limestones occupy an area of about 200 squaremiles in the valleys of the Mokau and Mangapu.
