Even to-day veteras giant tortoises 1,000 pounds weight, their shells. scarred and seamed by fire and simo, can be found high up on the sides of the volcanic conea. It took twelve men to carry down one

such monster to the vessel which brought him, some years ago, to San Francisco.

But, if sica and age do not command respect, must surely novelty does. Imagine, then, a voluntary round-up of tro head of fantastic- loaking four-footed reptile creature with big tails, watch them deliberately saunter down into the ocean and browse on the submarine sex-weeds fathoms under its waters, just as cows lick up clover in a meadow. These are the marine luunes, found almost exclusively on these islands,

of all sorts and sites resulted. The fittest to fight and the fittest to hunt survive, and their name in legion. They have become sO DUMET" ous as to threaten the extinction of the tortol. ses, which they have learned to seize by the vulnerable hind leg, biting into them and kill. ing them by tearing out their entrails. Of course, when reptile meat comes to an end, it will be a case of dog eat deg and the coaun- drum of the survival of the fittest will be work- ed out to the bitter end.

The only mammals, save stals, originally found in the Galapagos were a breed of small rats and some mice. Visiting ships sent cats of all colours ashore. These were left to raise families, where, a bird ensy to pounce upon, the booby, was very plentiful. Evidently this was a cals' paradise. Pussy has thriven; bat be come a larger and heavier animal; but'an ashy pray for has replaced the coal of many colous of the old tortoise shell. How Pussy will fare as the boobies become extinct, and the dogs become short of tortoise meat, will be an- other story of interest to evolutionists.

Probably these homely Ulustrations will tend

to set before the public the fact, known al ready to the world of science, that wild animal life in both hemispheres is rapidly becoming Not only predatory quadrupeds, but extinct

redatory man, is responsible therefor. In this particular instance man has probably been chiefly guily; for tenoiss oil, which is used by the Ecuadorans we use olive oil, was for a time a chief article of export. To obtain this oil hecatombs of tortoises were slaughtered.

Before their entire extermination is effected the Californian Academy of Sciences desires to obtain such a series of specimens of all these doomed species as shall adequately represent them in its museum for the benefit of students of all nations for all time to come. For yearn the director of the museum, Leverett Mills | Loomis, has been planning a series of ex-

The fonhcoming expedition is commls. sioned to achieve for all the sections a similar renown as regards island biology. By reason of the liberality of the Californian public the academy has been enabled to buy. from-the United States Navy Department a formerly used for official surveying purposes yacht of some +27 conɛ burden, the Ramust,

in Alaskan and Mawallan waters. About the mirdle of june last she was to leave for the Galapagos with a crew of trained exports, who

will begin their work of collection and obaer vation outside of the Golden Gate, and con- tinue it during the whole voyage of some eighteen months. The Galapagos have been selected as their destination, not only because of the immediate danger of the extinction of the giant tortoise, but also because of the intensely interesting general character of the group. Situate immediately under the equator (that imaginary line cutting one island in two), about 500 miles west of the coast of Ecuador, there are six principal and nice smaller | islands, with many islets scarcely distiguish- able from rocks, The largest is Albe- marle, seventy-two miles in longib.
