Abstract
Since the organs of digestion in those quadrupeds which live wholly upon grass differ considerably in their construction from those of other quadrupeds, and in greater or less degree according to the different qualities of their food, it was natural to expect some correspondent peculiarities in the gizzards of those birds which feed on grass, to fit them for digesting this kind of food. With this view the author has examined the gizzards of the goose and swan, in comparison with that of the turkey, which feeds on a different kind of food.
