This is the North Island form, and I must refer my readers to Owen's
description, only remarking that Mr. Hamilton, Trans. N.Z. Inst. XXIV, p.
179, says the vertebrae assigned by Owen to _Cnemiornis_ all belong to
_Aptornis_.
Locality of type tibia: Poverty Bay, North Island, New Zealand; collected
by Rev. Wm. Williams in 1842. {148}
