Haast.—On the Extinct Genus Harpagornis. 75 
remarkable development of all the principal features to be observed in the 
pelvis of the smaller recent Diurnal Raptores. 
Finally, I wish to observe that the pelvis of Harpagornis moorei, from 
Otago, has still some of its integuments and ligaments attached, of which the 
lining membrane on the walls of the acetabulum are best preserved ; whereas 
the more fragmentary bone of H. assimilis is in the semi-fossil condition in 
which all the bones from the remarkable turbary deposits of Glenmark are 
usually found. : 
Since my former paper a second ungual phalanx has been obtained, which, 
applying the same mode of measurement previously used, is 2-75 inches long, 
and has a circumference of 2:92 inches at its proximal end. It is the third 
phalanx, and belongs to the second or inner toe of the right foot. 
Amongst the smaller bones lately excavated I found also the second 
phalanx, with which that latter ungual phalanx articulates. 
The pachydermal character, even in these toe-bones, is well sustained, and 
the form and peculiarities of the articular ends, and the large concavity behind 
and below the trochlear joints of the distal end, are developed in a striking 
degree. 
Of Harpagornis assimilis we possess, as previously observed, several 
phalanges.
