Three new graptolite localities are described: (1) Alfred River, near Springs Junction in south Nelson; (2) Stony Creek, two miles north of Baton River in north-west Nelson; and (3) Takaka River, two miles from Upper Takaka, also in north-west Nelson. Only at the first locality are graptolites well enough preserved to be identifiable, and only at the third locality were they found in place. Crinoidal limestone occurs at two of the new localities; and attention is drawn to the possibility of finding graptolites at the apparently anomalous crinoidal limestone locality at Kakahu in South Canterbury.
