an eagle witli expanded wings. The largest of these birds has a 

 body 100 ft. long, whose expanded wings measure 800 feet on 

 either side of his body, while the tail is 40 ft. wide. The head is 

 quite perfectly formed, so that the outline of the beak is 15 ft. 

 in length. \_Fig. 1.] The form of a deer, about three feet high, is 

 found near the left wing of the gigantic bird. The body of the 

 deer measures 65 ft. 

 and the legs are 14
