21693-94 (p. 265). The same specimens are also figured 

 ia Mantell's ' Petrefactions,' p. 119, figs. 28, 29. The 

 calvarium may be taken as the typo of Palupteryx 

 (jeranoides. The wide flattened surface dividing the tem- 

 poral fossa from the occiput forms a marked distinction 

 from tlie cranium of A. parva, in which the temporal fossa 

 is much larger. Mantdl CoUedion. 



21688. Fragment of the roof of a calvarium apparently specifically 

 (^Fiy.) identical with the preceding specimen ; from the same 

 locality. The cerebral aspect is figured by Owen in the 

 ' Trans. Zool. Soc' vol. iii. pi. liii. fig. 7, and also in the 

 ' Extinct Eirds of New Zealand,' pi. xliv. fig. 7. The 

 specimen has either been partly restored in the figure, or 

 has been subsequently injured. Mantell Collection. 



Specifically Undetermined Specimens. 

 a. Limh-hones. 



47444, 13. An immature left metatarsus of one of the larger species ; 

 from Otago, South Island. The three bones are stiU 

 distinct at the proximal extremity of the specimen. The 

 specimen is relatively longer and narrower than the im- 

 mature tarso-metatarsus of Emeus crassus, No. 30021. 



Presented hy the Trustees of the Otago Museum, 1876. 



47444, 17. The left femur, with the extremities imperfect, of a very 

 small species ; from Otago. This specimen agrees in 

 length -with the femur of A. oiueni, but is much stouter. 

 It diff"ers from all the larger femora from the North 

 Island mentioned under the head of A. (?) geranoides by 

 the extremely large size of the fossa for the ligamentum 

 teres, and also by the smaller popliteal depression. 



Presented by the Trustees of the Otago Museum, 1876. 



b. Pelvis and Sacrum. 



Of the following examples of the pelvis and sacrum a considerable 

 proportion are referable to Anomalopteryx, although some may 

 belong to Emeus. 



32057. The imperfect sacrum ; from Waikouaitu, on the east coast 

 of the South Island. This specimen indicates a large
