32113. Eight small tracheal rings; from the bone-bed near the 

 mouth of the river Waingongoro. The small size of these 

 specimens suggests reference to Anomalopteri/.v curta.

b. Limb-bones. 



47444 t. Five specimens of the cnemial epiphysis of the tibia ; from 

 Otago. These specimens, which all belonged to immature 

 birds, indicate both large and small species. 



Presented by the Trustees of the Otago Museum, 1876. 



A. 220. The left astragalus of an immature individual of a large 

 species, with the ascending bar broken off; locality un- 

 known. No history. 



32173. The entire left astragalus of an immature individual of a 

 small species ; from Ruamoa, South Island.

47444 §. A still smaller left astragalus, wanting the ascending bar ; 

 from Otago. 



Presented by the Trustees of the Otago Museum, 1876. 



47444 J. The distal portion of the tarsus of an immature individual 

 of a large species ; from Otago. 



Presented by the Trustees of the Otago Museum, 1876. 



A. 100. The right and left tarsal sesamoids of a large species ; 



{Fig.) locality unknown. One of these specimens is figured by 

 Owen in the ' Trans. Zool. Soc.' vol. x. pi. xxxi. figs. 3-6, 

 and also in his ' Extinct Birds of New Zealand,' pi. cxiv. 

 figs. 3-6. Both correspond in contour with the sesa- 

 moid bones placed at the posterior side of the joint between 

 . the tibio-tarsus and tarso-metatarsus in the skeleton of 

 Anom.alopteryx 'parva. Judging from their large size, as 

 compared with the latter, it is highly probable that the 

 present specimens are referable to Dinomis. 



Presented by Sir B. Owen, K. C.B. 



A. 102. A large right sesamoid of a deeper and narrower form than 

 the preceding. If the latter belong to Dinomis, the pre- 

 sent bone may well be referred to Emeus. 



Presented by Sir E. Owen, K.C.B. 



32039 f. A large right sesamoid ; from Ruamoa, near Oamaru 

 Point, South Island. From the locality whence it was
