Curious Ornament.
A remarkable and curious ornament, a double cocoanut, is in the possession of a member of the crew of the tramp steamer Rhymney (says the S'outhland Times). The nut, which has been hollowed out and polished, consists of two lobes over a foot long and each from 5 to 6 inches in diameter. The Seychelles Islands, in the Indian Ocean, where the curiosity was obtained, is believed to be the only place in the world where such nuts may be found.
