From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Ibis \I"bis\, n. [L. ibis, Gr. [?]; of Egyptian origin.]       (Zo[94]l.)       Any bird of the genus {Ibis} and several allied genera, of       the family {Ibid[91]}, inhabiting both the Old World and the       New. Numerous species are known. They are large, wading       birds, having a long, curved beak, and feed largely on       reptiles.          Note: The sacred ibis of the ancient Egyptians ({Ibis                [92]thiopica}) has the head and neck black, without                feathers. The plumage of the body and wings is white,                except the tertiaries, which are lengthened and form a                dark purple plume. In ancient times this bird was                extensively domesticated in Egypt, but it is now seldom                seen so far north. The glossy ibis ({Plegadis                autumnalis}), which is widely distributed both in the                Old World and the New, has the head and neck feathered,                except between the eyes and bill; the scarlet ibis                ({Guara rubra}) and the white ibis ({G. alba}) inhabit                the West Indies and South America, and are rarely found                in the United States. The wood ibis ({Tantalus                loculator}) of America belongs to the Stork family                ({Ciconid[91]}). See {Wood ibis}.
