534 ACCOUNT OF THE ENGLISH COLONY [September. 



The fubjoined Engraving is from a Drawing made in New 

 South Wales of one of the birds, termed in that country, the Emu ; 

 three of which were brought home in the Buffalo, and prefented to 

 Sir Jofeph Banks. This gentleman, of whofe judgment none can 

 entertain a doubt, has pronounced them to come nearer to what is 

 known of the American oftrich, than to either the emu of India ? or 

 the oftrich of Africa.
