Nav WINGiEss BIRD.--At the meeting
Of the Linnean, Dec. ~, Mr.. Wcstwood
called the attention of the Society TO
wingless bird on Lord Howe's Island-an
island situated between New Holland aud
Norfolk Island. This spot had been acct
dentaliy wished BY Capt Poole, of the East
India Company's service, who, considering
It favorable spot for colonization, had n-
dnced SIX if.shmeu and their wives and fam
lies to settle on 1t. The place is now one
of constant resort for the supply Of water
and provisions to the South Sea whalers.-
As no Government has owned IL, this island
IS at present the property Of Capt Poole
1t is of considerable extent, and has on it
two high hills, which can be seen at dis
lance Of sixteen leagues at sea. On this
island Captain Poole had discovered the
bird in question. 1t is about the size of a
qnail-and is considered by the settlers as
good eating. Mr.. Westwood thought the
announcement OF the existence OF this bird
which was not previously known TO ex-
ist IN those egions--weuld be received with
interest In connection with the discovery of
the extinct wingless birds Of New Zealand.
No specimen has yet arrived in England but
some are on their way.-Atheaoam.

is one Of the greatest wonders of the floral

size Of walnut, perfectly white, with fine
leaves resembling very much indeed the wax

III the cup formed by leaves, is the exact
image Of a dove lying on its back, with its
wings extended. The peak of the bill and
the eyes are plainly to be seen, aud small
