rho Tallcst OF AN An,m.1,.

There are few groups of living
large mammals whose existing members
appear never to have been surpassed in
size by their fossil relatives. Foremost
among these are tho whales, which now
appear to include the largest members
of the order which have ever existed.
The so called white. or square mouthed,
rhinoceros of South Africa seems also
to be fully equal in size to any of its
extinct ancestors, and the same is Ger
tainly true of the giraffe, which may.
even exceed all its predecessors in this
respect Whether the fossil giraffes were
or were not the equals in height of the
largest individuals of the living species,
there is no question but that the latter
is by FAR the tallest of all living nam
mails, and that it was only rivaled in
this respect among the extinct forms by
its aforesaid ancestors. Moreover, if
we exclude creatures like some of the
gigantic diposaurian reptiles of the sec
ondary epoch, which, SO to speak, gained
an unfair advantage as regards height
by sitting on their hind legs in kan
garoolike manner, and limit our COM
parison to such as walk on all fonr feet
in the good old fashioned way, we shall
find that giraffes arenot only the tallest
mammals, but likweise the taiIest of
all animals that have ever existed
