ANIMAL OR VEGETABLE?
This hideous object suggestive of "Cerberus" of
ancient Mythology or "The Hound of the Basker-
villes" of modern fiction, is an unusual form of
vegetable growth occasionally found at the foot of
the cypress tree and locally called cypress "knees".
This specimen, blackened by age, which may
well be over 200 years was found near Lakeland
by an early pioneer,-passed on thru several genera-
tions to its present ownership.
● Note traces of bullet marks in neck
indicating
that early hunters were deceived by its weird
resemblance
to some living quadruped.
