Habits Of the cormorant and Of the

He saw cassowary come down t.

river where 1t was about three fee

spread Its wings out. submerginl

stepped out on the bank. Here it shool

The fishes had evidently mistaken
the feathers for a kind Of weed that
grows in the water along the banks Of

much resembles the feathers of the
