Of peculiar and interesting animal be-
longing to a species long thought to
have been extinct. This creature, as
huge as an OK, but in build shaped
more like a girafe-having a neck
much longer than a horse-seems to
combine the characteristics Of many
animals. His ears resemble those of
an ass, but with silky black fringes.
The head taper-like and the nostrils
like those Of the giraffe. He is vari-
colored, parts Of his body, neck shoul-
ders and stomach being of a deep
reddish-brown hue, while other parts
are almost crimson ana some parts
black-the headquarters striped pur-
plish black AID white-and the fore
head. strange to say, a vivid red.
Surely a creature to strike terror to
the boldest heart. It is hornless,
though there are traces Of three horn
cores. II is supposed to be the living
representative Of the fossil animal
helladotherium, the remains of which
are frequently found in Greece. The
natives have given II the name OF
okapi. A complete skin and two skulls
have been sent to the British Museum
in England.
