The Most Grotesque of All Animals Foun

The Most Grotesque of All Animals Found
in South America.
Perhaps the most grotesque Of all living
animals il the sloth of South America,
writes II. G. Hovey in the Scientific Amer
loan. Button and Cuvier thought nature
must have made such an animal merely to
'amuss herself" it can neither walk nor
stand; but it is perfectly Mt home amid
tangled tropical forests, whore it travels for
many miles merely by swinging from bouRh
to Dough, while feeding on the foliage.
When wenry, it curls up for sleep in the
fork Of a tree. Unless attacked, IT is a
harmless creature; but when put on the de-
f~ensivo, its great claws are dangerous
weapons.

The LATEST contribution to megnlonyx lit

cation to the Geological Society OF America,
al its meeting In August, 1891, was especially
never previously been found, namely, the
pelyEs Of the megalonyx jeffersonii, along
with other bones, from tho Big Bone cave,
Of Tennessee. These relics were purchased
from tho owner. Mr.. A. j. Denton, and now
belong to the Vanderbilt university.
There were found IN the cays already
named, at the foot OF the western slope OF
ths Cumberland mountain. at d point mid
way between tho towns OF Sparta and Nc.
Minnville. They were discovered In 1884
by a lRborer who was digging for bat guano,
covered to tho depth Of three feet, and "
ing In such 1 position as to show that they
had never been disturbed. The head, verte.
have been necessary aftcr the decay OF thu
animal, and showed it to have been eight
or nine feet long. The general form OF the
pelvis Of megalonyx strongly recalls, ths
broad hip bone of the m~egatherium; which
is what we should expect. considering TN
affinity Of the genera.
These bones are in various degrees Q

and tendons yet remain. The latter ls
feature Of great interest, agreeing with ~

Many of these bones have been more Q
