Mr. John Jordan, ? big ga?ne hunter and a Fellow of the Geographical Society, informed the Daily Mail that he encountered a "Brontcvaurus" on the Magorie River, in the Lake Victoria Nyanza district in 1907. It had a lionlike head and walrus fangs, was 18ft in length, and was covered with scales with leopardlike spittings. He fired at the animal, but it escaped. The natives in this region, he states, are well acquainted with the "Brontosaurus." They call it the " Bingoeck" or "Noquta."
