The map I have prepared (p. 331) shows the different places where traces 

 of the moa are personally known by me, and as stated in the accompanying 

 tabulation. There may be others with which I am not acquainted, but 

 this can be entered later. Similar maps might be prepared for other dis- 

 tricts by those who are interested in the subject, and similar inquiries 

 pursued with a view to arriving at a correct knowledge of the life-history 

 of the moa. 



The map also shows— (a) Polack's locality for trade, 1834-37 ; (6) Rev 

 William Williams's visit to Te Mahia, 1834 ; (c) journey of Rev. William
