CON D 0 R . — Sarcoi hamphus Gryphus . 
The Condor is an enormous bird, living in America, in the Andes, and ascends 
to the tops of the highest mountains. Two Condors will sometimes attack a Cow 
or a Llama, and kill it with their strong beaks and claws. It is very strong, and 
cannot easily be killed. The Indians catch these birds with lassos, while they are 
sitting gorged with food. The colour of the full-grown Condor is deep blackish 
grey.
