The dimensions of the tibia and metatarse of the “smallest size” of Dinornis didiformis in Dr, Haast’s list 
of bones from Glenmark swamp agree with those of the present species (D. geranoides) ; but the femur therewith 
associated has the length (9 inches) of a large variety of D, didiformis.—Trans. New-Zealand Institute, vol. i. 
1869, p. 83. 
Addition to Note 8, p. 356. 
Tibia and metatarsi identical, or nearly so, in size and shape with those of the present species are referred 
thereto by Dr. Haast (Joc, cit.); but the femur associated therewith in the list of specimens from the Glenmark 
swamp is an inch longer than that of D. didiformis from the North Island. Does this indicate an established 
variety in the South Island ? 
Addition to Note 9, p. 356. 
Unless the femur, 9 inches 6 lines in length, referred to “ No. 4, Din. didiformis, largest size,” in Dr. Haast’s 
list (Joe. ert. p. 83), belongs to a Dinornis dromioides, that species has not yet been met with out of the North 
Island. The tibia, 15 inches 6 lines in length, and the metatarsus, 7 inches 5 lines in length, which Dr. Haast 
associates with this femur, would rightly come under the head of Din. didiformis,

“No, 10. Dinornis gracilis, Owen. Of this elegant species three more or less complete specimens were found 
amongst the exhumed bones, which agree in every respect with Professor Owen’s figures. For comparison, I 
shall give the measurements of the best-preserved specimen :—

To this species I refer “* No. 17, Dinornis . . . . (?),” in Dr. Haast’s List (Joc. cit. p, 87); on which he re- 
marks :—** A species smaller than No. 16, but partaking still of the same character.

The specimens from the Glenmark swamp, referred to under ‘* No. 16, Dinornis crassus,” agree best with 
Dinornis gravis. Dr. Haast remarks :—‘t Of this species we obtained ten more or less complete specimens, so 
that I had ample material to assure myself of the correctness of its specific character.
