The first specimen was ex- hibited in 1880. To most persons the outward appear- ance of Scopus suggests a stork. And it is a fact that in a large number of points Scopus is decidedly stork-like. On the whole its skeleton recalls those birds. But in other features of its anatomy the bird is as distinctly inclined to the heron build, and, in short, it is a perfect instance of a bird which is intermediate between two distinct families ; and this is one, and that not a bad reason, for putting toget...her the storks and herons, as is usually, but not always, done by ornithologists. If 205 THE WINDPIPE IN HERONS they are not put together, where is poor Scopus to go ? It is neither one nor the other with sufficient definite- ness to please the exigeant systematist who wants cut- and-driedness. Mention has been made of the voice of the umbre. The voice is not melodious ; but the chief thing is that it is a voice. Now, the true storks are voiceless, though they make a most efficient din by clattering their bills.
