4 THE BIRDS OF THE SEA.-The birds that
belong to the sea are very curious. and
their number beyond all calculation
s. Every naked rock Or surf beaten cliff
that rises over the immeasurahle deserts
of ocean, is the refuge of mvrlads Of sea
birds; every coast, from the equator to
the poles, is covered with their leGions.
and far from The land their swarms hover
over the solitudes OF the deep" The
pengulns are perhaps, OF all others, the
birds that mosJ widely depart from the
ordinary type Of then class. Their wings
are adapted exclusively tor motion in the
water, and they swim with such rapiditv
and perseverance. with the head alone out
of water. that they frequently overttke
fishes IN fair pursuit. They live in the sea.
