Perhaps the most striking appendages to the body are the two well-defined extensions of parts of the body itself, which, although represented in other pictures of birds, nowhere reach such relatively large size. The figure of a bird shown in plate CXXXVIII, c, is similar in many respects to that last described.
The representation of the bird in plate CXXXVIII, e, has a triangular body continued into two points on the posterior end, between which the tail-feathers are situated. The body is covered with terraced and triangular designs, and the head is rectangular in form. On each side of the bird figure there is a symbol of a flower, possibly the sunflower or an aster.
I am not content with my prose, I have had the fever and a sort of sprain for two days. But we must make haste. I embrace you. G. Sand CXXXVIII. TO GEORGE SAND 10 December, Friday, 10 o'clock in the evening, 1869 Dear master, good as good bread, I have just sent you by telegraph this message: "To Girardin." La Liberte will publish your article, at once.
Plate CXXXVIII, d, represents a figure of a bird showing great relative modification of organs when compared with those previously discussed. The head is very much broadened, but the semicircular markings, which occur also on the heads of previously described bird figures, are well drawn.
LETTER CXXXVIII. TO JOHN ADAMS, November 27, 1785 Paris, November 27, 1785. Dear Sir, I sincerely rejoice that Portugal is stepping forward in the business of treaty, and that there is a probability that we may at length do something under our commissions, which may produce a solid benefit to our constituents.

In the figures of birds already considered the relative sizes of the heads and bodies are not overdrawn, but in the picture of a bird on the food bowl shown in plate CXXXVIII, f, the head is very much enlarged. It bears a well-marked terraced rain-cloud symbol above triangles of the same meaning. The wings are represented as diminutive appendages, each consisting of two feathers.
"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou wilt revive me: Thy right hand shall save me." PS. cxxxviii. 7. "I dwell with him that is of a humble and contrite heart, to revive the heart of the contrite ones." ISA. lvii. 15. "Come, and let us return to the Lord: for He hath torn, and He will heal us. He will revive us." HOS. vi. 1, 2. The Coming Revival one frequently hears the word.
The man is safe here, and he may "sing in the ways of the Lord," Psalm cxxxviii. 5. "For wisdom's ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace," Prov. iii. 17. He is a way that is food, physic, cordials, and all that the poor traveller standeth in need of till he come hence.
He Who cared for thee before thou wast, how shall He not care for thee now thou art that which He willed thee to be?" But if our wisdom and foresight blind us to the care that God hath over us, because perchance many things have fallen out according to our plans, let us turn again, with Psalm cxxxviii, and look in upon ourselves.
