In the interior of the South Island of New Zealand there exists a range of mountains, composed of olivine-enstatite rocks, in places converted into serpentine.

The right humerus is 40 millim. long, and has widely expanded proximal and distal ends. The radius has about the same length. There are more or less well-preserved remains of five metacarpals. The first has about half the length of the second, which is about equal to the third. In the specimen (No. 2) all five digits of the manus are displayed. The fifth metacarpal, which is broad and...
