oftrich: it is totally deflitute of the power of flight, 
being furnifhed only with a few ftrong, fhort, fharp- 
pointed fhafts or naked quills in the place of wings: 
the feathers throughout the whole bird are of a very 
(lender form, loofely webbed, and double; i. e. two 
proceeding from the fame bafe or root. The Auf- 
tralafian or New Holland Caffowary has been already 
deferibed in the prefent work, and from a collation 
of the figure of that bird with the prefent, it will 
readily appear that the two fpecies are perfectly 
diftincfl: from each other.
