which he is exhibiting at No. 635 Broadway
Among the novelties which he introduces for the
first time, arc several splendid specimens ofthat

at least three prize-fghters One Of DR.. Chailln's
fusize males would probably whip Sayers,
Heenan and Morrissey, all together. The larger
specimens are about 5 feet inches high. and SO
inches around the chest and neck like a bulls,
and arms as thick as a mans thghes.
They eat fruit, but are furnished with very long
and sharp mnnibes. like asquiriel's or woodcock'
