THYLACINE. 



Note the curious resemblance to a dog; also the length of 

 neck and tail, and the slenderness of the body. In the bush 

 the wasp-like stripes may be protective, simulating the fronds 

 of ferns. Note that the ears of the thylacine are erect, and 

 even cocked slightly forward, though it has been said that this 

 animal never erects its ears. The rudder-like tail is seen to be 

 rigid, like so much iron. August, 1904.
