ago in a small bight called Scrubby Bay (between Pigeon Bay Heads and McIntosh Bay) we found on reaching a depth of 25 feet the bones and crop stones of a Moa, and, strangely enough, mingled with the bones were portions of charred Totara bark. On reaching 35 feet the bones of another Moa, as also the crop stones, were found. The former were much decayed and crumbled away when touched.
