Extinct.

An. egg of the great aux, or care.
fowl, bird now extinct, was sold at
auction In London for sum equiva-
lent to $1,000.
Not all great auk's eggs are alike.
In length they vary from four and one.
eighth inches to 1--WE inches. The
greater number found have q white
ground, but others are of various
shades. Of bun. In some cases the
markings are spots, shown in blotchss
or lines. H.
1t Is said that no living aux has been
seen since 1874. The birds were en-.
terminated by the ruthless traffic In
their eggs and skins, although their
numbers. especially on the Newfound-
land and Labrador coasts, where onco
they were very numerous, were great
" reduced by their wholesale slaueht.
Or for food VI
The most remarkable characteristic
OF the great aux was it inability to fiy.
Its wings were scarcely more than
fms, which aided the bird In swim.
