Usage examples:

• " That this amount of resemblance in habit and in the conditions of existence is accompanied by as close a resemblance in cranial configuration, illustrates on a great scale that what Cuvier demonstrated of the animals of the Nile valley is no less true of men; circumstances remaining similar, the savage varies little more, it would seem, than the ibis or the crocodile, especially if we take into account the enormous extent of the time over which our knowledge of man now extends, as compared with that measured by the duration of the sepulchres of Egypt. - "The Antiquity of Man", Charles Lyell.
• Course 282 degrees, three- quarters of a mile; abundance of water and feed; lots of geese, ibis, ducks, and spoonbills. - "McKinlay's Journal of Exploration in the Interior of Australia", John McKinlay.
