 a typical Pacliyornis, having the large temporal fossae con- 

 tinued well on to the roof of the skull, as well as the general 

 contour characteristic of that genus. The distance between 

 the optic foramina is, however, not more than half of what is 

 usual iu Pachyornis, and agrees with what is found in Emeus 

 and Aiiomalopteryx. I propose to give this specimen the pro- 

 visional name of Pachyornis, species y.
