or a Tibetan antelope, while the cocka-
triee. the phoenix and the roc appear
to be pure imaginations.
But in the ElIzabethan age-an age
when the dodo had but recently been
dlscovered-these and many other
mythical creatures were. II not living,

existence of these and sueh like fabu-
lous monsters. but web Of mystic
