DIR. w. K. Gregory, evoutionist and Dr.. F. A! Lucas
director of the American Museum of Natural History
New York, says this point:
1.-The remains of the brontosaur have only been found
fossilized in American rocks The aquatic dinosaur of
Africa giganteus similar in habits to the brontosaur
We do not believe however that dnosaur of any spe-
ces exists alive to-day What the Belgian explorers
may be some and unknown species of reptile but
could not be dinosaur The discovery of species
OF reptile in itself would be of vast value to science
Discussing the English expedition DR.. g. F. Harmer,
director of the geological section of the British Museum
of Natural History, in a cabed interview said
Il should doubt strongly the survival of any of the
race of dinosaurs the creatures belong to
remote age. In the forest and swamp of unrodden
portions of Africa there probably remarkable speci
mems of unknown beasts but the likelihood they

difficulties, it proved to be an epochmaking discovery

For the okapi not modern animal at ALL 1t was
indeed almost ancient the brontosaur! 1t
actual survival of what is known the grane group
which ourshed in Southern Asia and Europe during the
Miocene age, several million years ago.
"The okapi had found safe retreat in the heart of
Africa in the gloom of the Congo forest" says the
famous naturalist Herbert Lang, in account Of the
discovery printed in the Geological Society Bulletin.
Only by the development of what to the hunter
supernatural caution and cunnngness had this actual
survival of past age been able to continue into
Indeed its cunning in eudng enemies has impressed
the natives that they credit it with many marvellous quail
es among them the power of retaliang upon all those
who slaughter it without due ceremonies of propation.
'Let but the head of the dying okapi touch the
ground, says Mr.. Lang, and earth receives the

The animal moves only through the night and it is
curious fact that the female of pair invariably takes

And while upon this ject of other expeditions the
very amazing which resulted in giving to science
only the bones of the huge prehistoric ground soth but
also its hide and actually few pounds of dried
meat must not be forgotten This great beast called by
science the grypotherum dates back long before the
mammoths. In November lS9f DIR. F. I. Moreno,
director of the La Plata Museum engaged in survey
ing the boundary between Chill and Patagonia His
duties brought him to out of the way place. where he
found hanging upon tree huge bits of skin tough and
thick as leather with about three inches Of red
hair on the outside. The skin studded thickly
with buttons Of bone on the inside as to make it ver
table piece of armor.
Dr. Moreno being enthusiastic paleontologist and
familiar with the slohs, learned that the skin
had been found by Argentine officers two years be-
FORE and that they had carried away large portion OF
it, leaving the remnant hanging the tree
Soon afterward DR.. Nordenskjold, the famous Nor
wegan naturalist visited the place and picked up
claws and other portions of skin. These discoveries
aroused such intense interest among naturats that Dr.
Rudolph Hauthal the geologist Of the La Plata Museum
sent to make a systematic search Of the cave.
First the stratum containing ashes and ordinary bones
was removed together with layer of leaves and llama
bones Then the searchers upon bed three feet
deep composed it is believed Of dust and grypotherum
droppings Digging into this brought to light several

pieces of grypotherum hide large piece of hind leg

of dog and finally the skull Of the himself who had
kept the monster in captivity.
Further evidence of the domesticated nature of the

mesticated the grypotheripm that lived with him.
1t has been accepted by scientists in consequence Of
this discovery that the only possible for the stab

the large quantities of milk furnished by the monster
1t is, therefore, beyond dispute that the grypotherum

our country fairs.
1t has been estimated that the dscoverers were only
few hundred years late in getting glimpse of the liv
ing specimen, and this margin is really great

about minute ago.
Returning to the brontosaurus it must be said that
while science is sodly against admitting his survival it
is fact that not only do reptiles which
temporaneous with him still live with but also Others
whose forefathers sthered around earth long before
brontosaurus born There is the turtle, marine and
land FORMS which has survived all Of the convusions of
old earth and is more numerous than ever He
dates his ancestry to the dmmes past and his modfca
tions to adapt himself to changing conditions have not
been very great.
He looks much the same as his ancestors of ten million
years ago.
There is also the SNAKE which was here before the
dinosaur was. Forms of him exist to-day almost as
gigantic as any OF the extinct FORMS His greatest mod
fcatons consisted in getting rid of his limbs he could
crawl and burrow and also to vastly reduce the bones in
his skull he could expand his mouth and throat and
swallow prey larger than himself.
There is also the crocodile, which swan the ancient
with ichthyosaurs, monasaurs, dinosaurs, etc. and
still holds sway pretty much all the earth.
Two factors went into the wpng out of the bronto.
saur The first and greatest climatic changes which
dried up his waters and deprived him of his food slow
mover he was not able TO get to other favorable localities
in time to keep from Starving to death. The second
factor was the carnivores which preycd upon him, and
against which, have pointed out he had scarcely any
means of defense.
In the swamp and subterranean lake discovered by
Capele and Lepage 1t is remotely possible that specimens
may have survived Certainly there other environ.
ment in which they could live.
But it is probable that in these ideal surround.

The brontosaur had remarkably small brain. 1t was
very stupid creature, and, has been said, the
and easy prey of the fesh-eating dinosaurs The
bones of many of hem dug out Of the rocks show plain
signs of gnawng, and the American Museum of Natural
History possesses part of brontosaur skeleton marked
in this way together with which found brokenoff

half Professor Marshs explorations conducted
$4,000 to get out that first skeleton and mount it.
When the Belgian explorers made public their story
IN european scennc papers Zooogss at once recalled
the announcement fifteen to twenty years ago of
the suspected existence Of another curious and unknown
animal in the Congo jungle. After travellers had re-
ported that they had caught glimpse Of the strange
creature Sir Harry Johnston and Major Powell Cotton
British explorers started into the Congo wilderness
and succeeded in bringing out extraordinary animal
which called okap This weird beast seemed to have
the hind and front legs of zebra with the body of
deer, and head resembling nothing hitherto known
science.
The finding of the okapi in this untracked will
lends credence to the report that another strange
and unknown beast is roaming this same region
1t was in 1890 that the American explorer Henry M
Stanley gave the first positive clue the existence of
the okapi 1t not until 1901 however that Sir Harry
Johnston succeeded through persistent efforts in secur
ing few strips of the animals hide Recognizing their
Importance, he at sent them to the British Museum
