is good for when it was done, though it would be easy to 
discover faults in its composition. Clusius, who is less known 
to fame as an ornithologist than as one of the early fathers

represented in the attitude of a Goose, but the Penguin from 
Magellan is correctly given an upright attitude, with the

which however, he had evidently had no personal acquaintance. 
With these we have not here to do, but in the first edition of 
* Sce Newton’s “‘ Dictionary of Birds,’’ p. 703.
