ON THE OCCURRENCE OF FOOTPRINTS OF DINORNIS AT POVERTY 
BAY, New ZEALAND.—When in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1875, 
my attention was.drawn to some specimens of “ Moa” footpr ints 
then in the museum of the Auckland Institute. After examining 
them carefully, I determined to procure some of these rare speci- 
mens for myself; with this intention I made a visit to the locality, 
which is on the right bank of the Taruheru river, near Gisborne, 
Poverty bay. Here I found what I so much desired to see in 
place, where hundreds and perhaps thousands of years ago, these 
great birds, sauntering in search of food, left their footprints 
indelibly tenpreneee on the sand.
