Books for Cryptozoology |
 | | This thick, well-illustrated book is an extensive review and synthesis on the evolution and biology of the Quaternary fauna of New Zealand. |
 | | One chapter is devoted to reptiles, amphibians, and mammals, including criticisms of the supposed New Zealand origin of the giant gecko (Hoplodactylus delcourti) and an interesting if short section on the tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus). |
 | | The rest of the book concerns the spectacular variety of New Zealand's extinct birds. |
