EMEUS EXILIS (HUTT.)

_Dinornis didiformis_ Owen, Trans. Zool. Soc. III, pl. 24 (1846), part.

_Euryapteryx exilis_ Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst. XXIX, p. 552, pl.

XLVIII, Fig. C (1897).

Differs from _E. crassus_ in the tibia being more convex on the anterior

surface. The skull, among other differences, has a very slight frontal

rising to the cranial roof, as opposed to the very conspicuous one in the

remaining species. The type is a nearly complete skeleton in the Wanganui

Museum. For full description see Hutton, l.c.

Habitat: North Island, New Zealand.
