1. “ Review of a Paper on the Moa, by M. A. de Quatrefages,” by W. 
M. Maskell. 
The author said that a good Tra of this paper would be found in the “ Annals 
and Magazine of Natural History ” 1884. 
2. Dr. Hector described a collection of minerals made by Mr. McKay at Wade, Auck- 
land, where serpentine contains ores of zinc and baryta. These are probably of the age 
of the auriferous injections of Coromandel, which belong to the cretaceous period, and not 
to the older reefs of Otago or Reefton. Igneous rocks from the Queen of Beauty Mine, 
Makara, also collected by Mr. McKay, were shown, which proved to be of the same compo- 
sition and structure as those at the Thames and Wade.
