THE ralline genus Notornis was established by Sir Richard Owen in 1843 upon a series of bones sent him from New Zealand by the late Mr. Walter Mantell, in one of the earlier consignments of Moa bones discovered in the sand-dunes where the Maoris feasted. Owen designated his type species Notornis Mantelli. In the course of determining a collection of ornithological remains from turbaries, caves and kitchen middens from New Zealand and the Chatham Islands, containing many relics of those birds, I was bewildered, a few days ago, by discovering that this long-established genus had been boldly superseded by Messrs. Mathews and Iredale in their beautiful work on the `` Birds of Australia,'' by the new generic designation, Mantellornis-one of the numerous topsyturvies their volumes contain.
