4558 THE ZooLocist—Auveust, 1875. 
Advancing towards the entrance of the cave, we obtained occa- 
sionally, in the marine sands, agglomerate and dirt beds, rough 
stone implements,—mostly mere chips of dolerite, obtainable close 
to the cave,—and, with very few exceptions, in no way to be com- 
pared with the artistically chipped flint implements from the Rakaia 
encampment; but these shapeless implements were now sometimes 
replaced by better formed tools. Some pieces of obsidian were 
found with them, embedded in the agglomerate, having, in two 
instances, the form of spear-heads. 
From the great number of moa bones, belonging to so many speci- 
mens and species, found over that small area, it became evident that 
this spot had been a favourite camping ground for the moa-hunting 
frequenters of the cave, because in the small space between the 
northern side of the supposed enclosure or hut and the entrance of 
the cave we obtained the following bones :— 
Dinornis robustus.—Right femur, portions of tibia and meta- 
tarsus (broken for the extraction of the marrow), portion of pelvis, 
two ribs, four cervical and one dorsal vertebra. 
Palapteryx crassus.—Portions of two full-grown birds, femora 
ribs and several vertebra. 
Euryapteryx gravis.—Portions of right femur, of pelvis, two ribs, 
nine phalanges, one dorsal, three cervical vertebra; all the bones of 
this specimen being doubtless derived from the same individual to 
which the bones of the left leg, previously described, belonged, and 
which were found towards the centre of the cave. 
Euryapteryx rheides—Numerous bones, belonging to at least 
two adults, and one young specimen, the leg-bones broken in the 
usual manner, portions of pelvis, sternum and skull, vertebra, 
phalanges, and ribs in considerable number. 
Aptornis otidiformis.—Lower portion of left tibia and femur, the 
marrow having evidently been extracted. 
Besides these remains belonging to our extinct birds, a great 
number of bones of smaller species of our recent Avifauna were 
collected, of which the spotted shag (Graculus punctatus) and the 
small blue penguin (Hudyptula undina) were the most numerous. 
Besides them, other specimens of the Graculus family, the gray 
duck (Anas superciliosa), and gulls and terns were well represented. 
From the dirt beds a considerable number of specimens were col- 
lected, mostly belonging to the spotted shag, but none which could 
be identified as moa feathers. In the upper or shell beds, as
