Abstract The Abstract for this thesis A study of Miocene sediments (Manuherikia Group) at Bannockburn and the banks of the Kawarau River, Central Otago, reveals the existence of at least 18 pollen taxa, 44 plant mcrofossil parataxa and casuarina n. sp. At least 6 floral associations are inferred to have existed - (1) a closed-canopy beech and conifer forest, (2) an open-canopy sclerophyllous forest or woodland including casuarina and possibly Eucalyptus, (3) palmaceous swamp forest, (4) dicotyledonous swamp forest, (5) coniferous swamp forest, and (6) a probable lateral zonation of semi-aquatic plants surrormding lake and bay mrgins which included burr-reeds. Climtic data are inconclusive but indicate temperate rather than tropical conditions. Department The department where the student is studying primarily.
