It may be convenient for future comparers of the hind-limb bones of Dinornis to 
have, in a tabular form, the principal dimensions of the femur, tibia, and metatarsus of 
the species now named. In this table are given references to the figures of the type 
specimens affording the dimensions ; and there are added remarks and dimensions of 
bones obtained by Dr. Haast, F.R.S., from the swamp of Glenmark, and which are 
referable to the above species of Dinornis.
