I have adopted Professor Parker's classification in the genera, only- 

 substituting Cela Reichenbach for Mesapteryx Hutton, which is a synonym 

 of Megalapteryx Haast. As to the species I have used my own judgment; 

 I felt obliged to name a number of species acknowledged by Parker and 

 Lydekker but not named, because this system of indicating species by the 

 letters A, B, C, &c, which has crept into our nomenclature, will make all 

 understanding impossible, as not always the same species is denoted by the 

 same letter. A few of these species will naturally later have to be sunk, as 

 some have been founded on skulls and others on leg bones, or so, which, 

 when we get perfect individual skeletons may prove to be identical, but I do 

 not think these will be many. 



Besides a number of imperfect eggs, particulars of which will be 

 found in Dr. A. B. Meyer's article in the Ibis, 1903, pp. 188-196, there are 

 known two perfect Moa eggs and one almost perfect one.
