If the Richmond sandstones belong to the Triassic, somust also the Maitai slates and the limestones of the Wooded Peak be Hochstetter regarded the Mineral Belt as a dyke of serpentine, and classedit under his eruptive formations of the Mesozoic period. Under the same headinghe placed the Brook Street igneous rocks, which he described as pyroxene-porphyries. The beds occurring at Jenkins Coal-mine at Enner Glyn Hochstetter regarded asforming the base of the Older Tertiary. The fossiliferous beds at the Port Hills he called Younger Tertiary. * This is the Waimea Fault of McKay. See Rep. during 1890-91, vol. 21, 1892, p. Reise der Novara, Geologie, vol. i, p. 229.
