supposed to be extinct in it's native haunts
of Madagascar, has an equal chance to be
found still existant by some wandering
explorer Madagascar is almost as much
of a continent as other large islands and
not yet fully explored. French history as
cribes the discovery of this bird as still
existing on the southern end of the island
in 1868. Later skeletons and huge eggs
we're sent to Geoffroy, St. Hilaire, who
named the bird aepyornis maximus, mean
ing the greatest lofty bird.
The diameters of the eggs were nine
and thirteen inches, equal TO the contents
of six ostrich eggs and las hen eggs or
$4,000 humming bird eggs!
South America is still but partially. ex-
plored, and wandering Levey may, yet
find there living phororhacos, an extinct
gigantic bird, seven or eight feet high.
Its huge head was twenty-three inches
lbng and seven inches in depth. an inch
or two longer and deeper than that OF a
horse. He had big sharp-clawed feet,
neck the size of horse and beak as
sharp and formidable as an ice pick.
dnosaur could not have more torn
and mutilated its prey, which. in a Pata-
gonian country, where bones Of huge
snakes exist, finds a natural answer.
Phororahacos lived In miOcene times, an
era before man is supposed to have ex-
listed, so we have no myths of natives
chasing this giant for food or being chased
by it.
The dodo, destroyed by sailors for food
on the, island Of Mauritius, leaves living.
for comparison, only the ostrich. Here is
a bird which has an ancestry as old as any
of them that man has neither been able TO
exterminate nor even diminish in numbers.
On the contrary, it has increased under
domestication.

Il is believed that the islands have been
separated sufficiently long to enable the
evolution Of species common to each. Al
though moas were numerous when man
made his appearance in that part of the
