Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

Temple, in his recent travels in Peru, states that he shot a condor, and from notes taken on the spot, gives us the following dimensions of its size: When the wings are spread, they measure forty feet in extent, from point to point, the feathers are twenty feet in length, and the quill part eight inches in circumference. This almost realizes the fabled rock of Sinbad, in the Arabian Nights, but its dimensions, as given, rests on good and very recent authority.
