hopeless all attempts to count, or TO
estimate, their numbers. but We have
at least two enumeratious made by
competent observers which serve TO
indicate the almost incredible numer-

James Audubon. the naturalist. com

less than LOO. 600, 900. He calculated
that this host must consume S.500,000
bushels Of grain per day This was not

equally great numbers.

at 240 miles. and the number Of indf-
Yiduals contained in it at 1880 272, 900,

Of the earth at that time, Wilson's
estimate Of the daily food supply
needed for this tremendous host was
1l-424,000 bushels Of grain. which, IL
