The CALCUTTA CRANE.-One distin-
guished visitor which honors Calcutta
with its presence only during the rains
is far too remarkable to be forgotten.
This is the adjutant, a gigantic crane,
standing about four feet high, with a
large, heavy body, small head, a huge
bill, and wings which are said sometimes
to measure II #. from tip to tip. A more
calmly and caricatre-like bird probably
does not exist, but it is useful, like the
jackal and the crow, as a great devourer
of refuse, and is said also to destroy rats
and snakes. It certainly swallows Jumps
Of solid bone larger than mans fist
and comes freely about the houses and
compounds, and is perfectly quiet and
harmless, but the most quantity ugly
creature living. It's body is gray and
black, its neck red and bare, with GU
rious feshy pouch dangling in front,
and Its huge beak the same color, while
its long legs have exactly the appearance
of being covered with white stockings
Whether standing with its head buried
between its shoulders, sitting on the
ground with its long white legs stretched
forward in the most awkward and unbird
like attitude, flying, perching or hanging
itself out to dry when its great blacl
wings are saturated with rain, no word
can render justice to its extravagant un
couthness. Overland, Inland and Up
