 (^Fiy.) sentative of the genus; from the menaccenite bed' of 

 Te Rangatapu, near Waingongoro, North Island. De-

 calvarium of Anomalopterux (?) geranoides, No. 21687

 figs. 1-7, and in the ' Extinct Birds of New Zealand,' 

 pi. 183, pi. xlv. %s. 1-2, as Palapteryx geranoides. Also 

 figured in Mantell's ' Petrefactions and their Teachings,'

 as the one to M^hich the specimens Xo. 32210 (p. 26-1) 

 belonged ; the calvarium of the latter being very much 

 larger than that of Anomcdopteivjx (?) geranoides.
