Fig. 8 : Lower Miocene Paleogeography, based on the distribution of sediments of the Otaian Stage. When the map was drawn, the writer overlooked Wellman's evidence (1951, N.Z.G.S. Bull. 48) that the Tititira Formation of South Westland (? Lower Miocene) was derived from the west, suggesting a western ridge (near the words ‘no data’) and a marine basin over the western flank of the present Southern Alps
