These Ethnological Collections are exhibited with a view to show that all people in every part of the world, when arrived at a certain stage of civilization, manufactured and manufacture their stone implements in exactly the same manner; also that, at least for New Zealand and Chatham Islands, we cannot divide the stone implements into palæolithic and neolithic ones, both kinds having been used by the Moa hunters and the Morioris at the same time.
- Three complete skeletons of Dinornithidæ—
- Dinornis Maximus
- Palapterix Elephantopus
- Meionornis Casuarinus
The three Moa skeletons were articulated from material obtained in the Tertiary deposits at Glenmark, after studying carefully some complete skeletons found in Otago. Selected to illustrate the three most remarkable groups into which the Exhibitor has divided the Dinornithidæ.

Analysis.
The following is a Table of the Average Composition of the Coal Exhibited from New Zealand from Analyses made in the Colonial Laboratory :—
- Maori War Flag, captured at Opotiki, East Coast of Auckland, from Kereopa, by Wm. Benson, Von Tempsky's Forest Rangers, 1865
- A Comparative Series of 12 Vertebrate Skulls, comprising
1 Frog 2 Crocodile 3 Albatross 4 Koala 5 Wallaby 6 Sheep 7 Pig 8 Horsepage 20 9 Greyhound 10 Bull Dog 11 Monkey 12 Man
Each skull is longitudinally bisected, and is so placed that the series of b[unclear: our] forming the base of the skull (basis cranii) is horizontal. The direction of [unclear: the] series of bones is shown by a red wire, which thus represents the cranial [unclear: as] From the fore end of this red wire a blue wire is continued along the bones fo[unclear: rm]ing the axis of the face, and so marks the facial axis. The green wire indi[unclear: cas] the direction of the ethemoidal plane by which the cavity of the brain-case separated from the chamber of the nose; the black wire, of the tentorial p[unclear: lace] or plane of separation between the greater brain or cerebrum and the lesser b[unclear: rane] or cerebellum; the yellow wire, the occipital plane, or plane of the apert[unclear: ion] (occipital foramen), through which the spinal cord becomes continuous with [unclear: the] brain. The outline diagrams represent the position of the brain in the skull the lowest (frog) and highest (man) members of the series, the cranial axis [unclear: bank] made of the same absolute length in both. It will be seen that with the increase relative size of the brain, the facial axis, a c, becomes bent downward upon : cranial axis, a b, the angle cab being, in man, nearly a right angle, instead as in the frog, equal to two right angles. At the same time the ethemoidal [unclear: plane] a d, is rotated forwards, the angle dab, a right angle in the frog, become greater than two right angles in man; and the tentorial and occipital planes [unclear: and] rotated backwards, the angles a g e, a b f, becoming obtuse instead of right angle
