scribed last night , by Carveth Wells, F. R. G. S., ex

In the jungles of the Malay peninsula.
,' The tree climbing fish comes out of the water to play
on the beach.
''When you tickle its tummy it swells up with air and
bounces about for sheer happiness," said Mr. Wells.
i Another funny freak is the flirting fish, the only
Hwimrrting animal known to have a genuine wink.
There is the vest pocket deer, which measured seven
inches from hoof to horn.
There is the hygenic monkey, so careful of his health
that after. every meal and before going to bed at night,
he repairs to the nearest stream and brushes his teeth
with the &d of the first finger of the right hand. i
