1933 MIRROR (9) The . Spencer ' ssoldonbeman (magus, a, um maior maio maius maximus.a.um). The largest of all the animals. Though usually peaceful and harmless it has its moments on insanity and then can be seen galloping about the trails shouting mimimimimi . Some scientists claim it to be an overgrown webbe. (10) The Scotsonwatsonweb (minor magnus). Claimed by some to be an undergrown Beman. This frolicsome little beast may be seen or heard almost any place at any time. (11) The Jon Masee (pardetus burp minor). A small edition of the Jons Trong. However, they do have their points of difference; the Jon Masee, for instance, spends a good deal of time in the lower altitudes. UNGULATAE (hooved animals, usually have horns) (12) The Clark (?). As only one specimen has been seen and as much discussion has been held on the matter this weird animal has as yet no scientific name. It fears the animals of the lower regions. 7 (13) The Hhuston (Aegos maior). To be seen wandering about the paths of the Dunlap, never in the lower regions unless it is forced to as it has a violent dislike for the animals dwelling there. (14) The Mills. It is not sure just in what class this animal belongs. The author has de- cided ideas as to where it should be placed but hesitates in making any statement. SECTION TWO: LOWLAND ANIMALS Though all these animals are generally accepted as being mammals many wonder if this can be ' true, as most of them possess marked characteristics of the lowest Phylum of the animal kingd0m - FELIDAE (15) The Greater Eebeucan. A very dangerous animal as are all in this family. Though it is a lowland animal it is frequently seen in the highlands a-chasing the dear . Scientific name, (vicesimusn) . SAECULUM (16) The Lesser Eebeucan. A later edition of the former but inclined to be more crafty. Hunter must be exceedingly careful. Scientific name, (vicesimum saeculum minus). (17) The Jaywalkut (illagueans sumpum). A lowland animal often found hunting in the highland zone. Like the Python it is supposed to hold its entranced victims by its eyes. UNGULATAE (18) The Johzise (siren magnae vocis). The creature may be seen almost anywhere in Dunlap. Travellers will be warned of its approach by a loud high pitched voice which sounds like a combination of a flute and a factory whistle. (19) The Debbeelenard. (The author is getting disgusted trying to concoct scientific names and intends to pretend he has forgotten all about them.) This queer creature may be seen running hither-thither-and-yon or to and fro on the great plains with a curved stick. (20) The Maryjaybartelmee. To be found anywhere at the proper time. It dislikes peaches. It is very quiet and seems to show signs of intelligence. (21) The Roothfreeman. One of the smaller Ungulatae. Little or nothing is known of its habits as it is so very quiet. PRAEMATES (22) The Anharding. A lowland edition of number 4. Quiet its habits and usually seen in company with the Maryjaybartelmae. (23) The Elseeearll. This animal acts sillier than any of the others, even the Tomojones. It runs about on its toes, spins wildly around, and waves its arms about wildly. (24) The Marstern. This animal is very quiet indeed although it pipes up cheerily in the great meeting place when all else are silent. MUSTELAE (25) The Bise. This is decidedly a predatory animal. It is very mysterious and it is said to have red pyjamas. It is often found on the level of Dunlap just below the summit. (26) The Betteebooth. Frequently to be found at the upper altitudes. Is also seen in the company of the Emble (which see). DESY p 0S IDIA (27) The Embel. The Embel like the Johzise makes strange sounds but they are neither as loud nor as piercing. It is often in company with the Betteebooth. (28) The Emburlee. A quiet animal seen throughout Dunlap in the company of the Lesser Eebeucan (which see). Page Twenty-one N. S. C. D. S.

1933 MIRROR Juniors NATURAL HISTORY OF NORTH SHORE Chapter XI Chapter eleven of this work contains the description and habits of the Eleventh Class of animals of the North Shore region, the third class of those inhabiting the great jungle-clad mountain, the Dunlap. These animals are divided into two sections for the benefit of the traveler. The first section contains those animals inhabiting the upper regions of the Dunlap, while the second those dwelling nearer sealevel. SECTION ONE: UPLAND ANIMALS Primates (Greek, meaning those who get to lunch first.) (1) The Fritzcree. (simiata Sapiens). This wild little creature is very friendly and easily tamed. When tamed it makes an excellent pet. It is not a large animal when compared to the Beman , for example. (2) The Jaypeegillees (vide me). Although this creature is a typical upland animal and is often seen in the upper regions, it prefers to be in the gym or among the animals inhabiting the lower regions. It is called by the natives, sheik . (3) The Dawaday (cocoa fera). This animal though small and apparently mild is extremely dangerous when aroused. It may be seen wandering aimlessly about the paths of Dunlap. It is very hard to find in as much as it has no fixed habits. (4) The Chasefhardingthree (phystos poopi). A very strange animal usually to be found in the upper regions though it likes che company of the lowland animals. Likes to sleep and would do so if permitted. (5 The Pansballard (sima hahahae). Though this is an upland animal it is usually to be found in the lowlands. It is identified by its loud noises. (6) The Bosworth (simia humoriae). A strange animal is the Bosworth. Its habits are rather like those of Pansballard. It spends its life making queer marks on leaves with sticks. CHEIROPTERAE (BATS) (7) The Tomojones (looni amentia). The tomojones flits about the upper regions and apparently does not care for the company of the lowlanders. It is a most unusual animal. (8) The Jons Trong (pardotus burp). This is a very large animal, but really very friendly, with a heart like butter. Page Twenty N. S. C. D. S.
