one of the most hiceous and singular specimens
of the human species which he ever recollectcd

mensions, resemblcd more that Of large bull
frog, than any other quadrupcd or biPed, being
long and fiat and covered with short, thick, solt
blac, down. The mouth when open, is suih
ciently large to take IN small.slz:d egg
The tongue appeared 10 be torked, ard when

The dreadful aggressor escaped, leaving his
brother corpse on the spot
