MOORE OF GLENMARK
eir-t enjoyed Douglas Cresswell’s vivid and amusing broadcast on "Moors of Glenmark" and should like to add this footnote. Moore has been debited with meanness, but to his credit should be placed this "generous gift." Sir Julius’ von Haast writes in his Geology of Cantera. bury and Westland: That gentleman not only presented most generously the large and unique collection of these extinct gigantic birds* (the moas) to the "Museum . . . but, in order that I might judge for myself of the mode of occurrence, he placed several workmen at my disposal with whom for a number of days I made some very successful excavations. Moore’s moa bones, exchanged all over the world for valuable specimens, and Haast’s numerous contacts with scientists, his guide knowledge, and his unbounded enthusiasm and energy were mainly responsible for the collections of the Canterbury Museum.
