the discovery of the skeleton o. au

no living specimen of such Magui-
tude has been found. that jhe spa-

force by alluding to tho wcli-kaovu
existence of giants in old times. Inc
following list is the data upon which
the singular hypothesis is based:
The giant exhibited 1T R1uen, in

The giant Galabrin. brought 10
