AN INTERESTING FIND.
A correspondent of the NZ. Herald writing from Gisborno, oaya : — •• Some time ago ihe mind of the Giaborne public became much exercised by reason of the finding of a singular relic of what appears to be evidence of eorae pact oteation, whoae prototype still exis^ m Sooth Africa. In a deep waterbole near Gisborne Mr Oeoil Goodison discovered a horn, resembling that of an extinct species of ibex. Manifold stories are rife aa to he why and whetefore. Mr Locke M.R.R., participates, with many others to whom this peculiar Btudy offers gve»t interest, m the theory that the discovery points to a huge continental system onoe prevailing In these southern Beas ; and the question afc issue is really whether, by the submergence of the land or ether causes, isolated individuals of commorj origin may not have been left, whose isolation has ctused them to be regarded as special typtß indigenous to special climes? The fauna of New Zeala d present nothing recognisable as germ n to the born now on exhibit at Mr Jarae Bailey's hotel, Giaborne."
