Mr. John Jordan, the big game hunter, and a Fellow of the Geographical Society has informed the Daily Mail that he encountered a brontosaurus at Magorie River, Lake Victoria, in 1907. It had a lion-like head and walrus fangs, was eighteen feet in length, and was scaled, having leopard-like spottings. He fired at the animal, but it escaped.
