The use OF the unicorn In heraldry has

The dinosaur which has aroused the
interest of science In the unicorn legend
was found in northwestern Montana AS
many of the fossils discovered IN this same
region have their counterparts both in
Europe and Asia. the location Of the find
is significant. As may be seen by the
photograph OF the skeleton, the legs OF
this monster are unusually massive. Their
size conforms to Pliny's description Of "the
feet OF an elephant" and, also, to Aelian's
remark that like the elephant it has
inarticulate feet"
There Is no doubt about its horn. And
now we come to very curious fact. This
creature, despite its ferocious aspect was
hsrbivorous--that is, It was not flesh
eater, but grazer like the horse and the
COW. This being so, II follows that the
monster lacked the ferocious qualities OF
the carnivore or flesh eater.
DO we find in this the basis Of fact which
Spencer said lay at. the bottom OF all
legends-that is, the reason for the very
extraordinary statement that the unicorn
was gentle beast, irresistibly drawn to
maidenhood, which of course, Is presum-
ably n gentle state?
In the fact that this horned dinosaur
was herbvorous lies a very real scientific
mystery, indeed. How and why did the
horn evolve on certain types Of animals
and not on others7 What started the FIRST
