Singular places in which Moa Bones were found.
Above the saddle between Mount Rosa and the spur leading to the bluff on the Kawaru River is a slight hollow of an oval form, about 60 feet wide, and surrounded on all sides but that facing the hill by a wall of rock eight feet high, which had the appearance of being in blocks, a number of which had fallen inwards, causing several crevices to be formed between them and the rock. At the bottom of the largest of these, where the rock was slightly overhanging and the front block sloped steeply downwards towards the rock, making a wedge-formed bottom at a depth of six feet and a width at top of five feet, with a length of nine feet, the length at bottom being only five feet, a number of bones belonging to at least four Moas were found.

Also, at a distance of 100 yards from this place, where the rock cropped out in the form of a step, there was a hollow in the rock four feet deep, eight feet long, and four feet wide, slightly wider at the bottom, from the rock overhanging. In the centre of the bottom of this was a large block of stone on edge, heavier than a man could move in such a small space. Around this block, and apparently under it, were bones of a large Moa, the majority of which were not obtained on account of the narrowness of the space.
