McKay, Alexander. On the identity of the Moa Hunters with the 
present Maori Race. Tr. N. Z. Inst. vii. pp. 98-105. 
In a discussion of this vexed question, the author expresses his opinion 
that either the Moa was exterminated long before the advent of the 
Maoris by another race, or that the Maoris arrived in New Zealand not 
350 years ago, as frequently supposed, but at a much earlier date, and 
that one o^ their first acts was the extermination of the Moa. The 
author worked under Dr. Haast in exploring the Sumner Cave, and 
seems to have offended that gentleman by publishing this paper. See 
tom. cit. p. 528 et seq.y and also p. 534 et seq. on the same subject.
