Mr. Forbes also exhibited the Dinornithine tibiae on which 

 he had based a new genus^ Palaocasuarius, and pointed out 

 that the bone differed from the tibia of Dinornis (in its widest 

 sense) in being straighter and less twisted on itself, so that 

 the position of tlie ridge forming the inner wall of the 

 groove for the tendons of the extensor muscles ran along the 

 inner side of the bone, as in Casuai-ius. As in the latter 

 genus alsO; it took a marked bend inwards and backwards 

 before joining the epicuemial cre>.t_, while a line joining the 

 centre point between the distal condyles and the epicnemial 

 ridge left a considerable space between it and the wall of the 

 groove. There was no intercondylar eminence in the inter- 

 condylar channel, and the orifice of the extensor foramen 

 opened more longitudinally than in Dinornis and pointed 

 downwards. Mr. Forbes described two species^ P. Jiaasti 

 and P. veJox. distinguishing them bv their size.
