Among these additions some will be regarded with interest by all visitors, 

 such, for instance, as the giraffes, our stock of which had been diminished 

 by fire and dilapidated by disease ; but to others, and myself among the 

 number, less showy additions have equal interest : the sheathbills are par- 

 ticularly interesting; these sea-pigeons, as they may be called, are of a 

 snowy whiteness, and among uuiustructed visitors, who feed them with 

 bread and buns, they pass for pigeons, to which, in their walk, their mode 

 of feeding, the movement of the neck feathers, &c., they have a very striking 

 resemblance. — Edward Newman.
