Art. XXXYIII.—Second Supplement to the “Materials for a Bibliography of the Dinornithidæ.”

By A Hamilton.

[Read before the Otaga Institute, 3rd December, 1903.]

Ten years ago I presented to this Institute the first portion of the working-list of papers on the moa, and the subsequent year a small first supplement of items which had been accidentally omitted, for several of which I was indebted to the kindness of friends. This evening I submit another supplementary list, bringing the material for the bibliography up to date.

As in the previous lists, some papers are included which treat of the smaller extinct birds, the history of which is bound up with that of their giant relatives, the moas.
