NEW MUSEUM DISPLAY.—Re-created in the Otago Museum, these moas are represented in their natural habitat, against a background formed from an actual view from the back of Flagstaff, where the giant birds were once numerous. The birds themselves are the work of Mr F. H. Gibson, and have been the subject of praise from experts from all parts of the Dominion. Another habitat group has been finished, depicting keas against a background of rack and crag. It was the work of Mr Colin McCahon, assisted by Mr Rodney Kennedy. More properly, the exhibits, both particularly fine ones, arc the product of the Museum’s department of zoology, of which Mr F. G. G. Peake is the supervisor.
