LONDON M0URNS FOR ITS KINl

-Wlngless Bird Is Believed
Nearly Extinct.

The total extinction in England Of
the kiwi Tor apteryx) has become a
reality. The London Daily Mail an
nOunces tie death of the Regents
park zoos only specimen. The species Is
nearly extinct in New Zealand now,
but the British Geological society has
written to the New Zealand govern
ment asking If just one more kiwi can
pc spared from the island sanctuary.
biologists will mourn the loss of the
dwarf wingless ostrich more than the
zoo visitors, for not one in ten thou
sand ever saw it while it lived there
more than nine years. The keeper
would turn out this Queerest of birds
every now and then, but the long
billed bundle of apathy>and sleepiness
scrambled back into it's box as soon
as released.
A curious point about the kiwi is
the fact that its nostrils are at the tip
of its long worm-hunting beak. and in
the ardOur of the chase it emits an
unpleasant snuffling noise. Its mating
call is pig-like squeal. ~
England is responsible for the vir-
tual extinction Of this rare bird. Brit

nate the rats. When they had nearly
wiped out the kiwi, the New Zealand
government found ratless island and
oonsecrated 1t to the poor bird. But
the problem Of saving an idiot bird
that puts all its eggs into one shell,
so to speak, was difficult one. The
kiwi laid one egg season, neerly as |
big as itself. Exceptional mothers
would lay two eggs and then find 1T !
almost impossible to hatch both. as
the ends would project out beyond
their feathers as they sat on them.
