literature^ about the Moas, but, unfortunately, the best 

 of it is not always accessible, being contained in the 

 " N'ezo Zealand Jotirnal of Science "" and the " Transac-

 " Transactions " for 1893, being vol. a:xvi., contains a 

 very full list of articles relating to the Moas, compiled 

 by Mr. A. Hamilton; it tvill be found to commence on 

 page 229. There is a good article on Moa in Neivton's 

 " Dictionary of Birds,'" a book: that should be in every 

 library.
