MANY MISSING ANIMALS.
In the course of an article in the “ Quarterly Review,” Mr C. R. Haines says that there is no reason why the sea serpent should not be a reality, lie records that in 1921 a huge mammal weighing fifteen tons, but unlike an enormous elephant in some respects, was washed ashore ot Cape Way. Various reported animals have still to be discovered and classified. Kenya has a huge, unknown animal whose footprints show three toes. Zululand used to have a lizard that riade a track as wide as a road. There is said to be a 50ft snake in the Upper Nile region. Mr Haines reminds his readers that the identification of the Okapi and of the dragon lizard of Java was comparatively recent.
