following,) very fine. 47, Tarso-metatarsal, of the Dinornis giganteus, very fine. 

 (With No. 46, the structure of the entire foot of the largest species of Moa, is 

 beautifully demonstrated. The phalangeal bones do not all belong to this meta- 

 tarsal, but they have been selected with great care by Mr, Walter Mantell, and 

 fitted together on the spot ; the type of the original is now fortunately known 

 from two perfect feet, not quite so large as the above, having been dug up, stand- 

 ing erect in the tertiary bed at Waingongoro, as if the Moa had become swamped 

 in the bog and perished. Nos. 46 and 47 arranged together according to the 

 numbers and figures attached to each bone, afford the finest illustration of 

 the foot of the gigantic Dinornis hitherto obtained.) 48, Another magnificent 

 specimen of the Tarso-metatarsal of Din. giganteus, or i7ige?is. (The re- 

 ference of separate bones to the several species assumed by Prof. Owen, must be 

 received as approximative only ; except where bones are found in apposition, (as 

 in No. 46 and 47,) for it is very probable future discoveries may show a different 

 arrangement of femora, tibia, metatarsal, &c., than that adopted in the Zoological 

 Transactions. Some of Prof. Owen's species are well marked, and will doubt- 

 less stand good ; others are doubtful.) 49, 50, Proximal phalangeal of Din. gigan-
