INVERCARGILL DISCOVERY Press Association. INVERCARGILL, Friday. The discovery is reported of nine moa skeletons at Limehills, near Winton. A party of three descended into a cave and found the bones about 30ft below the surface. They also discovered the bones of small birds, considered to be those of weka. The find is a valuable one for museum purposes and is unmistakable evidence of the previous existence of moa in large numbers in Southland.
