bones of fishes and birds, as well as human remains, but not a trace of a Moa bone. On a sand-bank not 20 yards from the ovens, we found the greater part of a human skeleton, which had, I think, been buried, and probably belonged to a woman, one of some travelling or fishing party. The under jaw accompanies this paper. These ovens were close to the stream first-mentioned, and about five miles from the end of Cape Campbell. Much nearer to it, only about a quarter of a mile from the lighthouse, I found another tarsus much smaller than the first. It was found partly embedded in a steep clay hill at the spot marked 2 on the map, but no other bones could be found near it. All the remains mentioned above were found to the east and south of Cape Campbell; to the west of it lies Clifford Bay, extending from the Cape to the White Bluff, which divides it from Cloudy Bay. All along the shores of Clifford Bay, as far as the western extremity of the sand-bar, which separates it from Lake Grass-mere, are to be found old ovens and the signs of Maori occupation. Two places have also been pointed out to me where great battles are said to have been fought between the natives. All the stone implements which accompany this paper were picked up at various times at the places marked on the map by crosses. At the place marked 3, is a piece of flat land, lying between the hills and the bay, ending in a reef of large rocks covered with mussels, and here, as might be expected, are the remains of a considerable Maori settlement. The natives inhabiting this settlement were certainly not Moa-hunters, for, on opening a great number of the old ovens, ash heaps, etc., we found chiefly shells, with fish, bird, and seal bones, but no Moa bones; and I am of opinion that these ovens, etc., are of too recent a date for any to be - found in them. Maoris were, I believe, living about the mussel rocks the last 50 years. Proceeding along Clifford Bay in a southwest direction, we come to its deepest indentation, where the shore is now formed by a sand-bar, on one side of which is the sea, and on the other the lake, Parera-te-hau, or Grassmere, a shallow brackish lagoon, occupying about 4000 acres, and the resort of swans, Paradise ducks, stilt plovers, and other aquatic birds; and here again we come upon the remains of the Moa, which must have frequented the lake in numbers, bones having been found all round it, but chiefly at the places marked 4, 5, and 6 on the map. There are also a number of old ovens on the sand-bar, full of fish, bird, and seal bones. Lake Grassmere must at one time have formed part of Clifford Bay, for at its western side I came upon the remains of an ancient sea beach, samples of which I send herewith. More recently, its area seems to have been occupied by a forest, the trees growing below the present level of the sea. In September, 1874, after a very wet winter, the lake broke through the sand-bar to the sea, leaving a large portion of its
