Of the many hundred visitors to the Zoological park who w«re entertained last Sunday by the entlea of the new pair of prnlalily very few were aware that they viewed an animal of unusual interest. A large twrd at the front of thdr tank e tbe following hucnd: Weet Indian real. Slonarhos troplmlls; gray: habitat, gulf of Mexico and Caribbean ww, from tbe Bahama I-lands ■ the orost of Yucatan end Honduras." The latel did not any. as it might have done, that this real was the flret largo animal of tbe American continent that was known by Eurei-ati*. During Columbus’ voyage to the Weet India* In HM, bo anebored off the com hern const of 11 Istianlnla. nmr a IKtle Island which he called Alla Vela. Several sremeu w.-re ordired rllnib to the top of the Island, and on tbclrreturn they killed clgbt "sea wolves," wfclcli wore .K.-jdng on the sands At that time the seals must have ban very ibundant In all the region between the Bahama Islands and the Control Amerlfor Damplcr, writing In 107# of the A lucre ii islands nuw Yuoatan, says: ny seals. They come up to • only on two or three of the Islands." ' 7 Sir Hans Slnanc. writing on the history of Jamaica, says: "The Island* are filled with Beals; ea Fishers wlU retch 100 In a night. They try or nM-lt thiiu, and la-lng off their Oyl for Lamps to the Islands." This oil indnitry suents to have nncrly lUrmlnaUd t!,e srei. for the animal has _wn almost unknown si nor that time. The single Indlvldusls eicurrd at long In- ' have hrvn among the most priced vs of the pivot museums, nod It it until very reremly that a ootnperiroen could lw obtained upon to base a sett mlflc diocriptlon of the animal. This sjsclmcn was reeelved at the National museum from Professor Felipe Poey of Havana and was di-scrlhcd by Profiwsors True and Lucas of that Institution. The only places now known fo be Inbabltand by these seals area fiw little coral Islands off the north coast of Yuca11 ire. free from nedeetatlon, live* a little remnant which survived tbe first aneutlon. Now the oil Is no wanted, ami ns their oonts ore i has no Incentive to bunt them down. Fishermen go Vi tl.w Islands but rarely, and then only out of curiosity, it is to one of three vlslte that the Zoological pork owes its pair of seals. The fishermen w ho obtained them rei-ort the animals as utterly den .Id of fear, not moving v lx n apimjai-bid and allowing tliemselvre be bundled with no sign of The park Is fortune In In having scoured >tb male and female of this rare sprdre. he two animals are of about equal sire, 6 fret long or a little lc*s. and would weigh in the neighborhood of 160 pounds. ~ • are of a dark, leaden brown above, uuderparu aouiewbel lighter.

Both sexes when edull am •eld to attain a length of from 7 to B fret weight of too or 600 pounds When out of Hie water, they prugreae hy a wries „ . hitches, making no use of ■' flippers. Thu Is evidently a serious cicr•topplng to rewi. In the water, however, tliey are models of ease and agility, gliding hack and forth, diving end rolling or •landing with head and shoulders out of the water to look about. The valvellkc nostrils are tightly shut as tbranlmal goes " ’ in with a puff as it comes to The female has a penchant for swimming on her back and In circling the tank invariably makes the return In that manner to her starting point. For animals that have been In captivity but a few days they are surprisingly tamo, and they certainly boar out she character them by the fishermen.
