1t was found several years ago on a
marsh not far from Auckland by HI.
Wilson of 302Umon street, this city,
while Mr.. Wilson was accompanying a
party of British engineers on a march.
A marsh along the route was being
drained, and among the fish and water
creatures left by the receding water
his frogship lay festively baskiny in
the sun, proud in the possession of an
extra pair of legs.
For some time 1t lived and thrived
in a tub of water until an untoward
accident brought its finish. 1t had
never been educated up to the point
where 1t could appreciate soap and
water, and one day when someone
thoughtlessly threw some suds into
the tub it was too much for its hobo
nature, and the only six legged frog
alive was no more.
The Smithsonian Institution offered
a good sun for it and 1t was sent,t to
the national capital by express.
