Text Appearing Before Image:
Pheasants belong to theorder Rasores, and to the family Phasianidce, Lyre-birds belong to the order Insessores, and to thefamily Menuridcs, Ostriches belong to the orderCursores, and to the family Struthionidce, Heronsare waders, therefore, belong to the order Grallatores,from Grallcs, stilts; and to the family Ardeida.Secretary-birds belong to the families FalconidcB andVulturidoe, and are rapacious birds belonging tothe order — I dont think you mentioned an orderfor the last-named bird, Mr. Dumas, said Frank asboth he and May hesitated for a moment. To the Accipitres or Raptores, added Mr.Dumas, quickly. Now, tell me, please, how youremember such hard names ? Why, said May, when we have the meaningof the words, it helps us remember a great dealbetter. But when Cousin Grace does not think itnecessary to tell us about the Latin and Greekroots, why, then we associate some familiar wordwith the one given, and thus remember it. Now,the word Raptores, is a very easy one to remember 312
Text Appearing After Image:
Feeding Her Babies. BOB WHITE. from the word Raptures. We have only to thinkthat the secretary-bird is so earnest in killing snakesand after her prey, thats it a sort of rapture to her,and then we remember it. Very good, indeed. Now let me tell you themeaning of the words. Raptores, the Latin \^ plun-derers ; and Accipitres comes from the Latin word,Accipiter, a hawk. To-day, has been just the nicest one yet, whis-pered May to Grace. That proves you are becoming more interested,for which we ought to thank Mr. Dumas, saidGrace, aloud. 315
