. The natural history of the cranes. Cranes (Birds).

Qrus vwgo. The Saras Crane of India, Q. antigone, I am fortunate in having had an opportunity of dissecting. The subject of my post mortem investigation was an old male that died in the Zoological Gardens, Regent's Park, in 1879. In this species the convolutions of the trachea are carried out to a much greater extent. In the adult the keel of the sternum is formed of two vertical plates, with an interval varying from an inch to half an inch between them. This is partly filled with cancellated, spongy cells, in which the trachea is embedded, gradually becoming more and more convoluted as the bird advances in age. The engraving shows the left side of the keel cut.
