 an account singularly coincident with that given by Hoffmann in the case of the Aphanap-

 'Dodo aud its Kindred,' of Van den Broecke's and Herbert's figiires of the bird. By means 

 of the bones found in Mauriti'as by Mr. Edward Newton, the author makes out the affinities 

 of this extinct form, which, ho says, should bear the name of J., broeckii (Schlegel), and hold."*
