Most of our readers will remember the engraving of a gorilla which we have some months since. The animal has been killed in Africa, carried England in a rum-puncheaon, and there ”restored” and stuffed by Professor Owen and others. It was considered so valuable a specimen that the Professor and his associates did not shrink from their task though decomposition ahs made such sad work of the gorilla’s corpse that they were forced to open the puncheon and perform their task in a moor, two miles from any human dwelling. |
