The originals of ilie folhrrivg specimens ivere oliainedfrom GJenmarh 

 Swamp, Canterbvrij, ivith remains 0/ Dinornitliidoe, and are pre- 

 served in the Museum at Wellington. The casts were presented ly 

 Sir Julius von Haast, K.C.M.G. The six specimens immediately 

 following are referable to the typical female form. 



48060. Cast of the left ulna. Original figured by von Haast in 

 the ' Trans. New Zealand Institute,' vol. vi. pi. viii. flgs. 

 3, 4. The relative shortness and stoutness of this bone, 

 when compared with the ulna of Aquila, is veiy marked. 



47448. Cast of the pelvis and sacrum. Original figured by von 

 Haast in the ' Trans. New Zealand Institute,' vol. vi. 

 pi. ix. ; and also by Owen in his ' Extinct Birds of New 

 Zealand,' pi. cv. figs. 1-3. The general proportions are 

 very similar to those of the corresponding part of the 

 skeleton of AcpiHa clanga, bi;t the subacetabi;lar fossa is 

 deeper. The alleged great relative length of this specimen 

 is not a generic character. 



48056. Cast of the left femur. Original figured by von Haast in 

 the ' Trans. New Zealand Institute,' vol. iv. pi. x. fig. 1 ; 

 and also by Owen in his ' Extinct Birds of New Zealand,' 

 pi. cvii. flgs. 1, 2. This specimen, which is one of the 

 types, presents no characters by which it can be distin- 

 guished from the femur of Acpnila. 



48058. Cast of the right tibio-tarsus. Original figured by von Haast 



in the ' Trans. New Zealand Institute,' vol. vi. pi. vii. 

 figs. 1,2; and also by Owen in the 'Extinct Birds of 

 New Zealand,' pi. cvii. figs. 5, 6. The fore-and-aft com- 

 pression of the distal extremity characteristic of Aqiiila is 

 intensified in this specimen. 



48059. Cast of the left tarso-metatarsus. Original figured by von 



Haast in the ' Trans. New Zealand Institute,' vol. vi. 

 pi. vii. figs. 5, 6 ; and also by Owen in the ' Extinct Birds 

 of New Zealand,' pi. cvi. figs. 5, 6. Except as regards 

 being relatively stouter, this specimen accords very closely 

 with the corresponding bone of Aquila, the alleged differ- 

 ence in the form of the distal trochlcse mentioned by 

 Haast not being observable when the specimen is com- 

 pared with Aquila chrysaetus.
