The bones of Cnemiornis examined by the author are compared in 
this paper with the corresponding bones in Cereopsis and Tachyeres 
{Micropterus, Less., nec Lac^p.), and the affinity of the extinct Anse- 
rine New Zealand bird shown to be closer to the former than the 
latter. The plates illustrate a nearly perfect skull, several vertebrae, a 
complete sternum, a tarso-metatarsus, humerus, and several other wing 
bones, and also a restoration of the complete skeleton of the bird, 
with one of Cereopsis beside it to show the great size of Cnemiornis.
