OF THE OSTRICHES IN GENERAL. 



In the Ostriches, the bill is straight and depressed. The wings are 

 small iii proportion to the size of the body, and altogether useless for 

 flight. The legs are naked above the kiiee: the number of toes, in one 

 species, is two, and in the remaining species three; and these are 

 placed forwards.
