JOUBNAL OF HOETXCULTUBE AND COTTAGE GAEDENEK. 



[ January 16, 1868. 



are called Green Geese because they were formerly killed wbile 

 covered with their green down. Fifty years iigo they were 

 killed and scalded. The notinnets of that time used to say 

 Buch Geese were too eld if they had a bone ; others condemned 

 them unless they were young, and consequently soft and pulpy 

 enough to allow the meat to be sucked through a quill. Green 

 Geese are to be had in Leadenhall in February. The supply 

 only ceases when full-grown, naturally-reared birds supersede 

 them.] 



DUCKS FROM THE ISLAND OF PERU. 

 A cor.p.EsroNDENT signing himself " T. C. H.," on page 20, 

 desires information about the island of Peru. Having, I 

 imagine, been at school more recently than he has, I am, per- 

 haps, better up in my geography. The island of Peru, from 

 •which the magnificent white Musk Ducks come, is in a diffe- 

 rent part of the world from Peru. If " T. C. H." will refer to 

 a map of the islands in the North Pacific Ocean, he will find 

 that close upon the equator is a group of islands, called the 

 Oilbert Islands ; and amongst these, in south latitude 1° 10', 

 and east longtitude 176° 5' (if the map is on a sufficiently large 

 scale), he will find the island of Peru. This island, let me 

 suggest to those whose curiosity has been excited, is noted for 

 the beauty of the Ducks which inhabit it, and is that which is 

 incidentally alluded to in the advertisement. — W. H. K.
