nous specimens eighteen to twenty five
feet long. These were confined In a
glass covered cage, tho top OF which,
having been broken, was temporarily
held, In place by stick. Maj. Varnell
and myself had sleeping apartments at
the head Of o stairway, directly above;
One night we returned and dropped
anguidly into bed without lighting the
gas. After o little felt something en-
cumbering my lower limbs and heard o
harsh, grating sound oil over the room.
