Abstract
Fossil bones of a new genus and species of rail (Aves: Rallidae) are described from one million year old shoreline deposits near Marton, North Island, New Zealand. Associated bones indicate the presence of a specifically indeterminate rail, an indeterminate avian species, and a moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes). These are the first described fossil terrestrial carinates from deposits older than 100,000 years in New Zealand.

Alcheringa : An Australasian Journal of Palaeontology is the official journal of the Australasian Palaeontologists.
Alcheringa covers all aspects of palaeontology and its ramifications into the earth and biological sciences, including:
Taxonomy-
Biostratigraphy-
Micropalaeontology-
Vertebrate palaeontology-
Palaeobotany-
Palynology-
Palaeobiology-
Palaeoanatomy-
Palaeoecology-
Biostratinomy-
Biogeography-
Chronobiology-
Biogeochemistry-
Palichnology.
Review articles are welcome, and may be solicited from time to time. Thematic issues are also possible. Emphasis is placed on high quality and informative illustration, in both line drawings and photographs. Papers of general significance may receive preference over those of more local interest.
