Bio / Parrots / Before Peggy died, Annie sometimes took her into the front room. She would screech, and the Chief would hear her and go pattering from the kitchen to look for her. Annie started this only about a week ago. Peggy died yesterday. The Chief showed no signs of missing her. But this morning, when Annie opened the cage door, he went pattering directly to the front room, obviously looking for her where reasoning told him she might be. Virtually he had never left the kitchen except to go in response to a call from Becky. About twice, while roaming around the kitchen, he had got out into the hall for a few moments. / Note: the word "directly" is right. [SF-I: 432.1, 432.2, 432.3.]

It was examined by a scientists, Dr. James Grant, who said that the general form of the head and arrangement of the teeth were different from those of any animal known to him. He noted somebody's suggestion that might be skull of a camel, a few of these animals having s=been sent to Australia about the year 1839. It was the skull of a large, herbivorous animal and could not have been exposed many months. Bones and teeth are described in technical language. / There were details that made him think the animal had been very young or even foetal: and so were so unfamiliar to him. The teeth were covered with a membrance and some of the bones were imperfectly ossified.

BO / In the Field, Aug 12, and Aug 19, 1893, are accounts of an unknown animal that was ravaging in Russia, preying upon human beings. A more detailed account by Brigadier General R.G. Burton, who was in Russia, at the time, is published in the Field, Dec 9, 1893. Gen Burton had no opportunity to visit the place "haunted by this mysterious animal", but tells the story as he got it from Prince Sherincki, who was active in the hunt. An unknown beast was terrorizing a small district in the Orel Government, south of Moscow. On the evening of July 6th something seized a woman. She screamed and it made off. Threee days later another woman was attacked by an undescribed animal, which she beat off until help arrived. This day a boy, aged 10, was killed and devoured, and on July 11th a woman was killed near Trosna. "At four o'clock on the 14th, the beast severely wounded another woman, and at five o'clock made another attack on a peasant girl, but was beaten off by a companion, who pulled the animal off, by the tail. These details are taken from the official accounts of the event." There was a panic and the military authorities were appealed [to]. 3 officers and 40 men were sent. They organized beats composed of from 500 to 1000 peasants. On the 24th, four women were attacked, one of them killed. Prince S arrived from St Petersburg. He brought with him 10 officers and 130 men. The animal disappeared and never was identified. Writing in Chambers Journal, on the year 1923, Gen. Burton say[s] was never identified. "According to general description, the animal was long, with a blunt muzzle, and round standing-up ears, with a long, smooth, hanging tail. / In Field, Dec 23, 1893, said that the naturalist Alferachi, after a study of sketches of the spoor of the animal, gave his opinion, because of the protruded claws, that it was a large dog. But it is said that plaster casts of the spoor were without claw marks, and that claw marks had been added to the sketches on the testimony of eye-witnesses. [SF-V: 41.1 to 41.9.

BO / If can be accepted that the aeronuts who have flown about seven miles high have flown no farther because they could fly no farther on account of the allowable air, the look is that if they could, by means not at present available, penetrate to a distance of 30 miles, they could then go on. It may be that an inhospitable zone only 23 miles—or so—thick is all that is preventing a Voyage to the Stars. [SF-V: 49.1, 49.2.]

BO / 1874 / Onandag[a] / In Sci Rec ( 1874-473, account of 3 specimens of unknown fish in Chautauqua Lake, Ab 6 feet long—huge mouth lined with a kind of coarse hair. [SF-V; 58. "A Singular Fish." Science Record, 1874, 473. "The Rochester Union describes a curious fish caught three months ago, in Chautauqua Lake, the third of the same sort captured in the lake within the past forty years: The fish is about six feet in length, and when caught weighed one hundred and thirty-four pounds. There are one back and three belly fins. But the head is what is most wonderful and peculiar about the fish. The mouth opens far back and wide enough to receive a nail-cask. There is a large falling lip or jaw that sets back and upward as the mouth opens. The inside of the mouth is covered with a species of coarse hair somewhat resembling the small feathers or down of an ostrich. Projecting for almost fourteen inches from the upper jaw is a sort of shovel-blade made of a hard substance. This instrument would seem to be intended for throwing food into its mouth rather than for attacking other objects or defending itself against assault. As this fish has no teeth, it is supposed that it subsists upon animalculæ or other substances floating in the water, which are drawn or forced into its mouth by the blade attached to its jaw." "A Queer Fish." Portland Daily Press, (Maine), March 20, 1873, p. 1 c. 8. I addition to the above extract, describing the same fish, (discovered "last week," according to the Portland Daily Press), two other specimens were reported in Lake Chautauqua. "The first was found about forty years ago, the second four years since, and the one which we have attempted to describe was taken from the water a few months since in a helpless and dying condition." "A Big Thing in the Fish Market." Jamestown Daily Journal, (New York), July 15, 1872, p. 4 c. 2. "Bemus Point yesterday, Sunday, was somewhat astonished by the appearance upon the surface of old Chauauqua a mammoth fish who was terribly agitating the otherwise calm and placid waters, Jack Burdick, of Maysville, who was at the Point in a sail boat, went out and looked up the monster and towed him into the dock, where he was brought to anchor. It was the largest fish ever caught in the Lake, at least the largest ever recorded. It measured six feet in length, and on the nose was a bill, very wide and flat, nearly a foot long. The fish weighed one hundred and twenty pounds and was pronounced by those who saw it to be a species of sturgeon. There are no scales on its body, but it is clothed in a thick hide. The fish was in great agony, and had probably choked and come to the surface. We would like to see some effort made to preserve this fish for the Union School cabinet." The specimen from 1872 exceeds the measurements of the largest of the local Chautauqua Muskellunge subspecies, (Esox masquinongy ohioensis). The lack of teeth and scales, as well as the "shovel-blade" or "bill, very wide and flat", best describes the American paddlefish, (Polyodon spathula), which feeds on plankton, has smooth skin, and has a long rostrum, (covered with sensory organs to detect plankton, extending ahead of its large mouth). Evermann, Barton Warren, and, Goldsborough, Edmund Lee. Notes on the Fishes and Mollusks of Lake Chautauqua, New York. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1902, 171. "Polyodon spathula (Walbaum). Paddle-fish; Spoon-bill Cat." "The only record of the capture of this curious fish in this lake is that of a photograph by R.W. Banjean, of Mayville (situated at the head of the lake), of an example caught about 1890. The fish is said to have been 6 feet 2, inches in length, 4 feet around the body, and to have weighed 123½ pounds. This is one of the largest individuals of this species that has been recorded."]

The men were Oscar Davies and W. Harris. "I have known both of them for a considerable number of years and can guarantee absolutely their sobriety, intelligence, and accuracy." They saw the creature and approached to within ab. 40 yards when it rushed into the sea and disappeared. Said that both men familiar with all forms of seals, sea leopards, etc., and said this very different. The characteristics are summarized as follows. It had a very small head, only the size of the head of a kangaroo dog. It had a thick arched neck, passing gradually into the barrel of the body. It had no definite tail and no fins. It was furred, the coat in appearance resembling that of a horse of chestnut color well groomed and shining. It had four distinct legs. It travelled by bounding: i.e., by arching its back and gathering up its body so that the footprints of the forefeet were level, and also those of the hind feet. It made definite footprints. These showed circular impressions with a diameter (measured) of 9 inches and the marks of the four claws about 7 inches long, extending outward from the body. There was no evidence for or against webbing. The footprints showed about 4 feet between the marks if fore and hind feet and then a gap of about 10 feet, making a total of 15 feet. Laterally they were 2 feet 6 inches apart. The creature travelled very fast." Though said been ab 15 feet long, said not been more than 3 ror 4 feet high. [SF-V: 62.1 to 62.9.

[Bones] / Gorilla's skull / 1880 / Sept 25 / Land and Water, Sept 25, 1880, that Mr James Forbes, of Chertsey, had received from some ballast men a skull which he believed was the skull of a gorilla "in a wonderful state of preservation" which they said they had dredged up from the Thames, It was sent to Mr Buckland, who writes that he was "amazed beyond measure to find that it was really the skull of a very large gorilla. Doubts that was found in Thames: says not a fossil and nothing like a fossil, or a semi-fossil, but of recent date. However he can not think where the dredger men could have found it. Noting that even the existence of the gorilla had in 1880 been known only thirty years, he can not explain how it got into the Thames river. / Considerable space in issue of Oct 9th. Mr. B. He quotes Mr. A D. Bartlett, of the London Zoological Society's Gardens, who said that "most positively" he identified it as a gorilla's skull. Both Buckland and Bartlett argued that the dredger men had probably not dredged the skull from the river-bed, because the mud on it was not river mud. According to Buckland mud had been pressed, with thumb-marks still visible, into the sockets to make it look as like a muddy dredged-up object. But he can not think how the dredger men could have got it. If they could have known where to buy ne, it would have cost them 4 or 5 pounds. / (P). [SF-I; 371.1 to 371.7.
