MOA BONES.
Christchurch, August 20,
While workmen were engaged yesterday in excavating the Cashmere Hills for the City reservoir they unearthered a number of Moa bones. The bones apparently belonged to a small specimen of the Moa. They were found about 15 feet below the surface of silt, and had been flattened to some extent by the pressure of the earth above. The bones have been secured by the Christchurch Museum curator.
