Real "Missing Link Just Found In
q South American Forest.
A strange bird recently found in
British Guiana, South America, is the
only vouched for survivor Of a hitherto
supposed extinct race. Several Of them
are known among the fossil races, and
are called, by natural historians, opis-
thOcOmuscristatus This peculiar spe-
cies is called the crested hoatzin, and
the records of the Smithsonian insti-
tuition stands sponsor for It.
''Yhe young hoatzins have. when
hatched," says the institute report,
"four we'll developed legs, the front
pair being somewhat Of q reptilian
character, with strong claws. They
possess the ability to leave the nest as
soon as Matched, and, by using all four
legs Ike O monkey, to climb over
branches, twigs and tree trunks. This
bird has also the power; even while
young, to swim, dive and remain for o
long period under water"
Soon after Matching the fore legs be-
gin to change, the claws fall of and
the claw-like member becomes fat
tened into the point Of IN ordinary
bird wing; feathers begin to grow, and
when fully grown no sign remains Of
the queer fore legs 1t possessed at
birth.
