WILD ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY 
having foimd a queer-shaped piece of wood which he had 
put on one side before leaving Antwerp, and upon ex- 
amination he at once saw that the bird had lost the 
artificial lower jaw that had been made for him by his 
former master at Bordeaux, at which place the bird had 
been kept for a long time. This lower jaw had been 
fastened on by two small hooks and studs. Having got 
loose during the journey to the ship it dropped off, and as 
the poor bird could not pick up his food without the under 
jaw, Jamrach was obliged to feed it by hand until Captain 
van Diependre made another voyage to Antwerp, and 
brought back the lower jaw of this unlucky half-billed 
hornbill.
