Text Appearing Before Image:
hile it is drawn forward, it presents avery small surface to the opposing water. Their plumageis so constructed as to prevent the water from penetratingthrough it; and for the purpose of preserving it in this con-dition, these birds are provided with an oily fluid, whichthey carefully spread over the whole surface of their bodies.The Swan, and many other water-fowls, employ their wingsas sails, and are carried forwards on the water with consi-derable velocity, by the impulse of the wind. Birds excel all other vertebrated animals in the energy oftheir muscular powers. The promptitude, the force, andthe activity they display in all their movements, and the un-wearied vigour with which they persevere, for hours anddays, in the violent exertions required for flight, far exceedthose of any quadruped, and implies a higher degree of irri-tability, dependent, probably, on the great extent of theirrespiratory functions, than is possessed by any other class ofanimals.
