A Ilure New Zealand llir.I.
Dr. Frist e l t has brought a most inter
s-sting and valuable collection of birds

tin an venturous outing, ami from where
'ue proceeded to New Zealand. There he
.ucceeded iu obtaining a specimen of the
Attaint and almost extinct kihi bird.
Tins bird is somewhat like an ostrich,
but only the size of a crow. It has no
wings at all, an-l is e-iverc 1 with fur
like short striped feathers. Another pe
fuiiarity about the kibi is the fact that
its egg is larger than one-third of its
body.
