Whether inland among the mountains, or along the seashore, we found bird life prolific. WHETHER INLAND AMONG THE MOUNTAINS OR ALONG THE SEA SHORE WE FOUND BIRD LIFE PROLIFIC
h, and it is out of these vast waterways, at the extreme northern and southern parts of the "inside" surface of the earth, in regions where low temperatures are experienced, that fresh-water icebergs are formed. They are then pushed out to sea like huge tongues of ice, by the abnormal freshets of turbulent waters that, twice every year, sweep everything before them. We saw innumerable specimens of bird-life no larger than those encountered in the forests of Europe or America. It is well known that during the last few years whole species of birds have quit the earth. A writer in a recent article on this subject says:(19) (19 "Almost every year sees the final extinction of one or more bird species. Out of fourteen varieties of birds found a century since on a single island--the West Indian island of St. Thomas--eight have now to be numbered among the missing.") Is it not possible that these disappearing bird species quit their habitation without, and find an asylum in the "within world"?
