“LOST WORLD”
CAPE TOWN MUSEUM DISPLAY CAPE TOWN. A world of 25,000,000 yeafs ago will one day be displayed in the South African Museum, Cape Town. It will be a reconstructed and lifesize picture of wild life as it was in the Koup, an arid stretch between the great Karoo and the north-west cape, in the days of the Pariasaurus, the Gorgonops and the Dinosaur, king of the fossil beasts with fangs three times as long as that of the lion. Dr. L. B. Boonstra, head palaentologist of the Museum, has just completed a life-size model of the Gorgonops, which was a scavenger in those far-off days.—Reuter.
