33111 b. A larger and apparently specifically distinct proximal 

 phalangeal of the fourth digit of the left pes. The proxi- 

 mal surface is flatter and more expanded laterally than in 

 the preceding specimens. 



32124 a. A terminal phalangeal of the pes. 



32183 a. A terminal phalangeal. 



32184 a. A larger terminal phalangeal. This specimen is a typical 



example of this segment in the present genus, showing 

 the short, deep, and sharply-curved form, and the imper- 

 fectly trefoil-shaped contour of the proximal surface. 



32185 a. A rather smaller terminal phalangeal. 

 32130. A series of specimens of terminal phalangeals. 



47444***. A terminal phalangeal remarkahle for its extreme 

 shortness. 



g. The Sternum. 



A. 35. The sternum ; from the South Island. This specimen 



{Fig.) (fig. 64, p. 316) is described and figured by Owen in the 



' Trans. Zool. Soc' vol. xii. pp. 1-3, pi. i. It is practically 



entire, and exhibits all the characteristic features — more 



especially the extremely small size of the xiphisternal 



notch, and the presence of only two costal articulations. 



Presented hy John Davics Etiys, Esq., 1883. 



A. 184. A rather larger sternum, wanting the extremities of the 

 xiphisternal and lateral processes ; locality unknown. 



By exchange, 1890. 



A. 185. Cast of a still larger sternum, with the xiphisternal pro- 

 cess imperfect. The original, which was obtained from 

 Glenmark Swamp, Canterbury, is described and figured 

 by Owen in the ' Trans. Zool. Soc' vol. vii. p. 115, pi. vii., 

 and also in his ' Extinct Birds of New Zealand,' p. 254, 

 pi. Ixxii. Made in the Museum. 



h. The Pelvis and Sacrum. 

 32165. The imperfect pelvis and sacrum ; from Euamoa. The 

 greater part of the ilia and sacrum remain, but the lower 

 portion of the acetabulum and the pubes and ischia are 

 wanting. All the characteristic features of the ventral 

 aspect are well shown. There are seven preacetabular 

 vertebrae, of which the first two carry free ribs.
