321 54. ■ A series of specimens of terminal phalangeals of the pes ; 

 from the South Island. All exhibit the long and slender 

 form, and regular proximal surface, by which they are 

 at once distinguished from the corresponding bones of 

 Pacliyornis. Walter Mantell Collection. 



19480-81. Two specimens of terminal phalangeals ; from the South 

 Island. The larger belongs to the second or third digit, 

 and the smaller probably to the fourth. Earl Collection. 



46631-33. The imperfect skull ; from a fissure in a limestone 

 {Fig.) deposit at Timaru, South Island. Pigured by Owen in 

 the ' Trans. Zool. Soc' vol. v. pi. liii. figs. 1-3 & pi. liv. 

 fig. 1, and in the ' Extinct Birds of IS'ew Zealand,' pi. Ixii, 

 figs. 1-3 and pi. Ixtii. fig. 1, as D. robustiis. The portions 

 preserved comprise the brain-case, the right quadrate, the 

 imperfect premaxillse, the articular region of the right 

 ramus of the mandible, and the greater part of the 

 deutary. This specimen agrees very closely with the 

 slightly larger skull of the skeleton of No. 46050, the 

 only difference being that the basioccipital tubercles are 

 somewhat smaller in the present specimen, but this cannot 

 be regarded as a specific distinction. Assuming that the 

 skuU of No. 4Gt.»oO belongs to that skeleton, the present 

 specimen would be too large to have belonged to the bird 

 to which the bones from Timaru mentioned on page 240 

 pertained. The quadrate is represented in fig. 68, A, infra, 

 p. 'd'62. Presented by Sir B, Owen, K.C.B., 1875.
