«On observe ces couches non-seulement au pied de rocs nuds du Grand Saleve, mais encore dans la partie de sa pente qui est boisée par exemple au dessous de la croisette, le chemin qui de ce hameau descend au village de Collonge, passe sur les couches inclinées, comme celles que je viens de décrire.» In § 237, the description is continued.
A great white bird dived suddenly out of the heavens and flew into the focus of his vision. In all the tales of his boyhood, of large and beautiful rocs and other birds, he had come across nothing like this.
«§ 493. En suivant la route de servez, on voit sur sa gauche la continuation des rocs escarpés qui couronnent les montagnes situées au-dessus de Passy. Un de ces rochers est si élevé, et en même tems si mince que l'on a peine
"If I should squeeze one, there wouldn't be anything left of it." In the open space between the clouds and the black, bubbling sea far beneath, could be seen an occasional strange bird winging its way swiftly through the air. These birds were of enormous size, and reminded Zeb of the rocs he had read about in the Arabian Nights.
"I venerate that young woman," says Peter. "You see what a beauty she is, and just as unspoiled as this ice. Unspoiled beauties are rarer than rocs' eggs. "She has a singularly true face," Wade replied, "and that is the main thing, the most excellent thing in man or woman." "Yes, truth makes that nuisance, beauty, tolerable." "You did not do me the honor to present me."

They flew back in the direction they had come, and disappeared for some time, while we made all the sail we could to endeavour to prevent that which unhappily befell us.
"I can't work on this stuff here," he said. "Then why didn't you say so?" she asked sharply. She let out a cry and a raven came flying in. She whispered something to it, frowned, and then ordered it off. "There's no surface transportation available, and all the local rocs are in use. Well, we'll have to make do with what we have."
"That's what I heard in the night," Frank Merrill gasped to Ralph Addington. "But what are they?" asked Honey Smith in a voice that had a falsetto note of wonder. "They laugh like a woman take it from me." "Eagles buzzards vultures condors rocs phoenixes," Pete Murphy recited his list in an or of imaginative conjecture.
The captain of my ship, knowing by experience what they meant, said they were the male and female parents of the roc, and urged us to reëmbark with all speed. The two rocs approached with a frightful noise, which they redoubled when they saw the egg broken and their young one gone.

They soon returned, and we observed that each of them carried between its talons an enormous rock.
