genus /’77stis, armed with these formidable weapons, 
are abundant in the seas of the tropics. ‘There are also 
skulls of Chelonians and of the Indian Crocodile 
(Crocodilus palustris) One of the latter, which 
belonged to an enormous animal thirty feet in 
length, has a sufficiently gruesome history. In life it 
frequented a river in the island of Borneo, where it 
had long been a.terror to the inhabitants. A few 
weeks previous to its capture it attacked two men 
upon a raft—father and son. It caught the son by 
the arm and took him under water. The father 
jumped into the river to rescue him, when the 
crocodile left the son and devoured the father. The 
son reached the shore much injured. It soon after 
upset a canoe and devoured the chief of a Malay 
village, whose relations, after long watching, succeeded 
in destroying the reptile. This terrible story was 
related to Captain Henderson, (who gave the relic to 
Captain Glasspoole), by the Dutch resident, De Groote. 
The events occurred in 1827.
