Fossil Birds.

Ornithic remains are by no means plentiful in Australia, and such bones as have been found do not differ much from those of living genera. The Emu (Dromaius) existed, and also a species of Moa, about the size of the Dinornis robustus. The specimen proving the presence of the gigantic bird, a large femur, was found on the Leichhardt Downs in Queensland, 86 feet below the surface, and is now in the Australian Museum.
