pressed from the base ; at the point depressed, flattened, and broader 
than in the middle, the nasal groove being prolonged towards the point ; 
nostrils at the sides slit lengthwise ; legs slender, three toes directed 
forwards and almost entirely divided ; wings of middle size, the first

CALL OF BIRDS. — *Is in most instances effected by the lungs 
and larynx ; but some species of woodpecker, in the breeding season, 
have a very extraordinary and peculiar call to each other, by strong 
reiterated strokes of their bill against the dead sonorous branch of a 
tree. These calls seem to be a species of song. *
