COrmorants are far the largest and

cormorant is a yard long and very
strong and heavy, and, though more
quaint than beautiful, whether flying,
diving or sitting on the rocks or buoys.

inhabitants of the shallow seas of both
the old and new worlds. He is found
throughout Europe, in north Africa,
lGgypt and the greater part of Asia, in
eastern North America and, a little
changed by distance, in New Zealand
and Australia. Lastly, he is the only
bird, except the hawks and falcons,

it became so enormously heavy that at
the end Of the sixteenth century it
was complained that gentlemen of thir-

the weight Of their armor. In spite of
the huge armors of Henry VIII, Of
