 The peaceful penetration of Maple White Land. which we called the new country, was the pressing subject be fore us We had the evidence of our own eyes that the place was inhabited by some unknown creatures, and there was that of Maple Whites sketchbook to show that more dreadful and dan gerous monsters might stinE appear. That there might also prove to be human occupants and that they were of a malevoIent character was sug- gested by the skeleton impaled upon the bamboos, which could not have got there had it not been dropped from above. Our situation, stranded with out possibility of escape in such land, was clearly full Of danger, and our reasons indorsed every measure of caution which Lord John's expert ence could suggest Yet it was surely Impossible that we should halt on the edge of this world of mystery when our vety souls were tingling with inn patience to push forward and to pluck the heart from if.
 We therefore blocked the entrance to our zareba by filling it up with sev- eral thorny bushes and left our camp with the stores entirely surrounded by this protecting hedge. We then slowly and cautiously set forth into the un- known, following the course of the lit tie stream which flowed from our spring, as it should always serve us ms a guide on our return.
 Hardly had we started when we came across signs that there were in deed wonders awaiting us. After few hundred yards of thick forest con tafnang many trees which were quite unknown to me, but which Summer lee, who was the botanist of the par ty, recognized as forms of conifera and of cycadaceous plants which have long passed away in the world below, we entered region where the stream Widened out and formed considerable bog Suddenly Lord John, who was walking first halted with uplifted hand.

 An enormous three toed track was imprinted In the soft mud before us The creature, whatever it was, had crossed the swamp and had passed on into the forest. We all stopped to ex- anime that monstrous spoor.

At the same instant I heard the crash of Lord Johns ele- phant gun and, looking up, saw one of the creatures with broken wing strug glfng upon the ground, splitting and gurgling at us with a wide opened beal and bIoodshot, gogg1ed eyes, like some devil in mediaeya1 picture, It's com rades had flown higher at the sudden sound and were circling above us.
