Abstract
AMONG the “Notes” in NATURE, vol. xiii. p. 196, just come to hand, you give an extract from the Order Paper of the Legislative Council of New Zealand concerning the remains of a supposed “prehistoric map,” regarding which a motion for an inquest was tabled by Mr. Walter Mantell. As you correctly report, this skeleton was excavated under my direction in the so-called Moa-bone Point Cave, but it was not found in the lower beds containing Moa-bones, but in a much more recent formation, and to which I assigned a comparatively modern date.
