The Bird GuanO.

InC lBlEO 1ustuO.
On this point our best authority is DE-.
Hamilton, late Of Peru, who remarks as
follows:
"The guanos were still to be seen in
vast numbers on the Moro Of Africa, du-
ring my first residence there in 1926, but
not in such abundance as they were few
years prior to that period ; for. during the
war OF Independence, Africa was several
times attacked both by sea and land, when
the cannonading had the effect Of soaring
them from their haunts on the Moro. Since
1926, Africa has been much frcqucnted by
foreigners. some of whom fired at and
otherwise annoyed the birds, which have
now all but totally abandoned that part Of
tho Peruvian coast. The guanos have
hitherto existed on the coast of Peru in
numbers which would appear incredible,
except to those persons who have seen
them. The greatest mass of guanos | ever
saw was in lSi G, at the Chincba Isles, which
are only barren rocks in the Pacific ocean,
off Pisco, and about one hundred miles
south from Calao. i saw the birds through
q glass from on board vessel under easy
sail when the rock appeared to be a living
mass; for the guanos seemed to be contend
ing among themselves for n resting place
They live on fish, and are expert fishers,
ior which they are beautifully formed by
nature. Their bill is three Or four inches
long, according TO the age or size of the
bird, and il is about one inth broad at the
much curved, and altogether
well adapted for hooking up food, which
rarely escapes. The quantity of guuno
manure accumulated on the Peruvian coast
must be very great and may be estimated
thus:
Allowing the average number of these
birds to be one million, which consider
is much within bounds, and that each bird
has one ounce of droppings per day. we
shall have not less than above thirty tons;
and deducting one-half of the above sup
posed quantity for evaporation and other
CASUALTIES, there will still be above fifteen
tons Of this valuable substance produced
every day. From what has been observed
as to the habits and numbers Of the guano
their frcquenting premontories, dcclivities,
and insulated rock, it follows that the soil
in certain localities must have accumulated
to such an extent, as might induce those
persons who may not have considered the
subject, to expect that the guano is to be
had in unlimited quantity, but for obvious
reasons that must be fallacious cxpccta-
tion."
