PACHYORNIS INHABILIS HUTT.

_Pachyornis inhabilis_ Hutton, Trans. N.Z. Inst. XXV, p. 11 (1893).

Differs from _ponderosus_ by having the great inward expansion at the

distal end of the tibio-tarsus. This expansion has induced some

ornithologists to separate the species of _Pachyornis_ into two

genera--_Euryapteryx_ and _Pachyornis_--but I do not think this expansion

of sufficient importance to warrant generic separation.

Habitat: Middle Island, New Zealand.
