1918 July, “African and South America”, in The Nineteenth Century and After, volume LXXXIV, number CCCCXCVII, London: Nineteenth Century & After Ltd, page 185:The Rhea ('South American ostrich') of eastern South America had no struthiform relations in Central or North America, but seems most nearly related to extinct Eocene struthious birds once inhabiting Egypt; while it is also a distant relation of the Ostrich and still more distantly of the Madagascar Aepyornis.
