Island of Mauritius, is the hermit. so
called because it was found only in pairs,
which walked with such a mingling of
pride, beauty and gracefulness that one
could not avoid admiring and loving
them, SO that their good looks often
saved their lives" Many years ago this
same island was the home of remarkable
birds which were called giants, their
heads rising six feet high. Their bodies
were no larger than that of a goose, but
their legs and toes We're very long. They
were easily caught by dogs, because they
required some time to lift themselves
from the ground.
Thirty wears ago the scientific world
was startled by the discovery Of bird
bones Of gigantic proportions in the riv.
CTS of New Zealand. On being put to-
gether the skeleton approached the 81
ratEe in size. 1t has been called the Di-
nornis, and was known to the natives as
the moa. Its height, according to Rich
ard Dale Owen, was more than eleven
feet. and his comparison Of bones leads
TO the conclusion that the bird belonged
to the ostrich species.
