Many curious animals haunt the
marshy parts Of South America north
OF the pampas. Frogs big and fe-
rocious (the ceratophyrs) given to
making vicious springs when close
" approached; the capybara, a
cavy "contented with the bulk OF a
sheep; the huge coypu rat and the
swarthy piglike tapir are frequently
seen.
Along the forest margins troops OF
peocaries are often met with, oc'
casionally the jaguar, sometimes the
puma, likewise that toothless curl

long nosed and remarkably long
tongued. Very plentiful too are
those little knights in scaly armor,
the quaint, waddling armadihoes;
long toed jacanas pace about upon

A familiar object Is the great ia
biru, a stork with a preference for
the desolate lagcons, where 1t may
often be observed statuesque on one
leg and wrapped In prospection.-
