firmly ancliylosed to the shaft, but the cnemial crest was 

 probably separate. J5// exchange, 1874. 



46054. An imperfect immature right metatarsus, probably asso- 

 ciated with the preceding ; from Glenmark Swamp. The 

 division between the three metatarsals is distinctly visible ; 

 the tarsus was detached, and has been lost. 



Bi/ exchange, 1874. 



46053. A rather smaller but less immature tarso-metatarsus ; from 

 Glenmark Swamp. The tarsus is only partially anchy- 

 losed to the metatarsals. By exchange, 1874. 



35832. The left tarso-metatarsus of a very large female : from 

 Glenmark Swamp. The dimensions of this specimen (of 

 which the length is 0,o4o=21'5 inches) are given by 

 Owen in the ' Trans. Zool. Soc' vol. vi. p. 500, and also 

 in the ' Extinct Birds of New Zealand,' p. 253 ; from the 

 context it would, however, appear as though these di- 

 mensions referred to No. A. 162, although this is clearly 

 not the case. Presented by the Rev. Dr. Lillies, 1860. 



35837. The left fibula of a very large bird ; from Glenmark Swamp, 

 This specimen may have belonged to the same individual 

 as the preceding. Presented by the Rev. Dr. Lillies, 1860. 



35836. A similar left fibula, imperfect distally ; from Glenmark 

 Swamp. Presented by the Rev. Dr. Lillies, 1860. 



Tlic following specimens, which include some of those described by 

 Owen as D. robustus, mciy in all probability be regarded as 

 referable to male birds. 



32039-42. The bones of the right and left hind limbs ; discovered 

 (Pig.) in 1848 at "Waikouaitu, on the eastern coast of the northern 

 half of the South Island. Figured by Owen in the ' Trans. 

 Zool. Soc' vol. iv. pi. xlvii. figs. 1, 2, as Dinornis robustus, 

 the plate being incorrectly lettered D. giganteus. The 

 length of the tarso-metatarsus is 0,430 (17 inches), which 

 far exceeds that of the specimens on which D. robustus 

 was founded (' Trans. Zool. Soc' vol. iii. p. 329), of which 

 the lengths are respectively 0,368 (14*5 inches) and 0,350 

 (13-8 inches)'. The length of the tibio-tarsus is 0,822
