1940 catalogue description
- " There are several varieties of pelicans, all of which are confined to the warmer regions of the earth. They are beautiful birds with their black and white plumage. Their most remarkable feature is the lower beak which is of an elastic nature and will stretch to a large size in the form of a pouch. "
