apteryx

Bones of Apteryx are also found fossil, but apparently of the same species as the living birds.

But with the cassowary, the emu, or the apteryx matters are very different.

The apteryx—or kiwi, as this bird is generally called—is a native of New Zealand, and one of the strangest fowl in the world.

A pollex is wanting, as in the cassowary, emeu and apteryx, while it is impossible to say whether remiges are represented or not.
