b. The Tarso-metatarsKS. 



41267. The right tarso-metatarsus, associated with the tibio-tarsus 

 Xo. 41266. This specimen has a length of 0,206 (8-1 

 inches), and a width across the middle of the shaft of 

 0,054 (2'1 inches). It may be distinguished from the 

 corresponding bone of Emeus crassus, not only by its 

 shorter and relatively stouter form, but also by the square 

 shape of the outer proximal articular cavity, and the 

 shortness and shallowness of the groove in the talon. 



Purchased, 1869. 



47444, 10. A right tarso-metatarsus closely resembling the pre- 

 ceding specimen ; from Otago. In this and the next 

 specimen the lateral expansion of the third trochlea 

 originates less suddenly than in the other specimens. 



Presented bjj the Trustees of the Otago Muscu,m, 1876. 



47444,11. A larger right tarso-metatarsus; from Otago. This 

 specimen agrees approximately in relative size with the 

 tibio-tarsus No. A. 172. Its length is 0,217 (8-6 inches), 

 and the width at the middle of the shaft 0,051 (2 inches), 

 so that its proportions are much more slender than those 

 of typical specimens of the corresponding bone of P. eh- 

 phantopus. 



Presented by the Trustees of the Otago Museum, 1876. 



32024, 1. A nearly similar right tarso-metatarsus ; from Ruamoa.

47444, 12. A rather larger right tarso-metatarsus of the same type, 

 probably referable to this form ; from Otago. 



Presented by the Trustees of the Otago Museum, 1876. 



c. TJie STcull. 



32197. A calvarium, probably referable to this species ; from the 

 South Island. This specimen has the general characters 

 of the calvarium No. 32200 of P. elej)ha)itopi(S,hut is smaller, 

 with relatively larger temporal fossae. It exhibits the 

 lance -like expansion of the distal extremity of the sphe- 

 noidal rostrum characteristic of the genus.
