The flesh, especially thebreast, is fat, esculent, and so copious thatthree or four Dodos will sometimes suffice tofill one hundred seamens bellies. They were so plentiful at one time, and soeasily killed, that the sailors were in the habitof slaying them for the stones found in their 84 ABOUT PIGEONS. stomachs, winch the men used to sharpen theirclasp-knives. In this instance an entire race of creatureshas vanished from the earth, within the mem-ory of man. The records of the rocks showthat many other species, even entire orders ofanimals, have disappeared in like manner. Soalso other races have been created and placedin such circumstances as were adapted to theirgrowth and preservation. Each species hashad the form, the clothing, the habits whichthe Creator gave it at its beginning of life,and no instance has ever been found in whichone tribe, or family, or species, has graduallychanged and developed into another.
