21743. A similar vertebra, showing the haemal spine ; from the 

 North Island. Mantell Collection. 



21723. An imperfect posterior cervical vertebra ; from the North 

 Island. The centrum has become very short and wide, 

 and when entire had a haemal spine ; the specimen closely 

 resembles the posterior cervicals of Porphyrio, but is 

 relatively shorter. The form of the neural arch, which 

 has no trace of a spine, at once distinguishes this specimen 

 from the cervicals of the Dinornitliidce.

21743 b. Two associated dorsal vertebrae rather later in the series 

 than the preceding ; from Waingongoro.
