Ant-Eatsr Found In Patagonia
From the London Mall:-In theso
latter days. when people are constant
" nearing OF the threatened extinction
OF various tribes OF animals, the news
OF the discovery OF an entirely new
species OF Quadruped Is startling. The
iaet OF the existence OF hitherto un-
known animal has been brought 10
light by DIR. Florentino Amoghino.
VINO for some time past has had re-
ports OF mysterious creature OF noe
turnal habits brought to him by sever
AZ Indians. and a few years ago the
late hamon Lista, while hunting in the
interior OF Santa Cruz. was siartlaA nv
tne appearance OF a strange animal.
when he described TO DIR. Ameghino
'as pangolln without scales and COW
cred with reddish hair" Lista shot at
the creature, but II was apparently bull
iet-proof, for It disappeared into the
prushwood, and although instant
search was made no trace OF the ami
mai was to be found. As no further
evidence was forthcoming, DIR. Anne
ghino was inclined to think that thu
naturalist had been deceived; but h1
mas Just received skin from South
Patagonia which proves that Lista was
correct In his statement. On examl-
nation the osslcles which were en-
pedded In the skin like paving atone,

belonged to the pangollns, or scaled
