Singular places in which Moa Bones were found. 
Above the saddle between Mount Rosa and the spur leading to the bluft 
on the Kawaru River is a slight hollow of an oval form, about 60 feet wide, 
and surrounded on all sides but that facing the hill by a wall of rock eight 
feet high, which had the appearance of being in blocks, a number of which 
had fallen inwards, causing several crevices to be formed between them and 
the rock. At the bottom of the largest of these, where the rock was 
slightly overhanging and the front block sloped steeply downwards towards 
the rock, making a wedge-formed bottom at a depth of six feet and a width 
at top of five feet, with a length of nine feet, the length at bottom being 
only five feet, a number of bones belonging to at least four Moas were
