CoNpoRs.-Three of these remarkable birds
have been brought TO this country by DR.. Roberts,
from the Rio Negro in Patagonia, which are be-
lieved to be the largest and most splendid ever
seen here alive, measuring from eleven to twelve
feet across the wings. Thctwo males are thought
to be upwards of twenty years Of age. The
Chilians say that the Condor breeds once in two
years. and makes no nest, but lays two large
white eggs on the overhanging shelf of bare
rock. The young ones remain covered with
black down like gosling, without the power of
fight for entire year, roosting with the parent
bird on the same inaccessible cliff. The method
of taking these birds pursued by the Chilians is
to place the carcass Of guanaco within an en-
closure of sticks, on level piece of ground, and
when the condors are gorged with this most at
tractive food, to galop up and surround them
when, not having space to run, they cannot give
the body sufficient momentum to rise from the
ground and are easily captured.
