Collecting Saurian Remains in the Middle Waipara, June, 1867
Collecting Saurian Remains in the Middle Waipara, June, 1867.
About the middle of June another visit was paid to the Waipara in order to collect saurian remains in Booby's creek. For this purpose I took a stonemason with me, but the continuance of very rainy weather caused the rivers to become so high, that very little could be done, even the smaller creeks being generally inaccessible. I was compelled, after several attempts, to desist from the proposed work. A few interesting specimens were however secured.
