travelling in Japan. While he was maiting at
Hong Kong for the vessel TO sail On which he
tho opportunity Of writing letter, from which
we are permitted to take the following descrip.
ton Of mermaid, which he had Just seen. We
had supposed the animal was "myth," and
had no existence outhide of Darnum's Museum.
Ar. Hall says it is verify.
Hosa Kozo, Sept n 1889.
81 had an opportunity. By our delay, Of Sec
ing = mermaid, direct from Japan. There is
something exceedingly curious and interesting
shout this nondescipt animal / never saw
Darnum's Fcejee mermaid. which it is said cane
from Holland, to which place it had been in.
ported from Japan. Hildrtth, in his history Of
Japan, speaks Of the mermaid As ono Of the
Japanese r:en.fa*w.., givi9e Jspan IS rs
which saw last week was brought quite re-
Gently from Japan By Ar. King. Of Hong Kong,
in whose possession I saw It. it was in glass
case, that enabled me to see It with the greatest
clearnass, though could not handle it. This
mermaid is eighteen or twenty inches long.
Tho fish part Of the body is about the pro
portion Of = trout that would measure ihat
length. It has 4 doFsal, 1ateral, and ven.
tral fin-two Of the latter; sud the tail is Ct
size and shape like any Of our common we'll
known fish. Joining to tho fith body, = little
back OF where The Gus ofe usually AAdhted, IS
tho animal portion Of the body. being relatirefy
one-third the whole length. This animal third
consists Of head, in sha ape, size, formation Of
eyes and nose, number, form and position ofthe
teeth. like = monkeys; Of a long, slender neck
Of chest, having n sternum and several dis
tinct pairs Of ribs. 1t has long, ape like arms,
terminating in fire finders, Of which the middle
one il the longest and largest. On The head and
body, abose tho fishy portion, are here and
there epots offur remaining, like the fur Of u
monkey in length and texture, Of brown color.
The closest scrutiny that can be given, fails TO
reveal any traces Of the union or .he animal and
6shy parts.
Psychologists tell us thst such union is in
possible; and Of the medical md other experts.
who have examined this monster, some, bafled
to discover BY eye-sight anJ deception, simply
rest on this dictum, and others admit that moth
ing but a dissection can really sett1s whether
this be most ingenious fraud or a lusus aat"ra.
For my own part, I must confess can see no
trick, though it may be one. 1t is perfect

This mermaid is shortly 10 60 to the United
States. The japanese say that it cane from

cslitr. During my stay in Japan shall make
Tbs subject Of special inquiry, and procure
one or moIr specimens, if possible to do 80.
