Transactions of the Royal Society of New Zealand . ng meta-morphic rocks outcrop in places as the base of the range on the north-eastside, the most extensive outcrop being on the foreshore of the harbourfrom Henderson Street for a distance of 37 chains towards Starling Wild.—Geology of the Bluff. 319 Point. A study of the rocks in this locality, together with those ofTewaewae Point, reveals the nature of the met amor phi sm, though the gapin the series occupied by the mouth of the harbour cannot be bridged ina manner absolutely satisfactory. The origin of Bluff Harbour and Awarua Bay, as well as Waitunaand other lagoons along the south coast between Bluff Hill and Fortrose,requires some explanation. The sand and shingle driven by the prevailing current throughFoveaux Strait came to rest at the lee side of Bluff Hill. Thence, afterthe manner commonly described, a sandbank extended outwards in adirection slightly north of east. At length it reached the headland ofWaipapa and Slope Points, which attains a height of 800 ft., or slightly.
