on a painted-cloth, which was the full proportion of it, and he 
went up to Dublin, with an intent to shew it to the Lord 
Lieutenant.” 
Letter No. 4, manuscript. 
“In a Letter from a very Sober person in Dublin dated 27th of 
December 1673. 
“Yesterday I went to See part of the Sea Monster, which was 
taken at Dingle, viz. the two Bigg Hornes and the little head, the 
Hornes are neare foure foot long, and about six inches thick

Eight of the said Horns about 800 Buttons or the reasemblance of 
Litle Coronets; and in each of them a set of Teeth, the said Body 
was bigger than a Horse and was 19 Foot Long Horns and all, 
The great Head thereof Carried only the said ten Horns and two 
very large Eyes, And the little Head thereof caried a wonderful 
strange Mouth and two Tongues in it, which had natural power to 
draw itself out or into the Body as its own necessity required, there 
is several other very remarkable things to be observed in the said 
Monster, and in particular it had a Redish Coloured wrapper or 
Mantle growing and Sticking fast to the back thereof, and the 
Laps on both sides was loose, which was white within and Red 
without. Therefore all persons who desires to be further satisfied
