ins of the last few
days have unfortunately obliterated this interesting impression, the
society is to be congratulated on the prescience of the member who was
energetic enough to measure it while still existent.

In contrast to this diminutive race we have discovered traces of a
gigantic race, still in existence. Three of these remarkable beings
inhabit this locality, where they occupy high positions as proprietors
of the leading hostelries of the place. Indeed, I _may_ say that the
members of the society at the present time at Giants' Bay have the good
fortune to be quartered on the premises of one of these singular
specimens of a mammoth prehistoric civilisation. An opportunity is
about to be given to each member singly to inspect the phenomenon thus
opportunely brought under observation.

It need hardly be stated that the collaboration of the individual
reports which it is proposed to make promises to result in one of the
most important contributions to anthropological science which has ever
been placed on record. The preliminary inspection is to be made by the
president to-morrow; and it is expected that the complete report will be
ready for the public about the end of the month.

Fashionable Arrival.--Blunderbore Hotel: John Smith, M.D.; no address.

Announcement.--The band will play every evening in the hall of
Blunderbore Hall, during the receptions. Applications for private
interviews should be made at once. Owing to the unusual number desirous
of an introduction, Giant Blunderbore will not be open to make any fresh
appointment for a fortnight, when priority will be given to the first
applicant.

Departure.--A few visitors have already left the bay, including Major-
General Sir Cap a Pie and lady, who, however, have left their family at
the Blunderbore Hotel, and are expected to return. Monsieur and Madame
Froggi also remain, but their infant has departed.

From the _Stilly Gazette_, July 15th.

Our Giants' Bay correspondent reports a steadily maintained influx of
visitors. As a proof of the popularity of this Elysian spot, it may be
remarked that only one visitor has left within the last fortnight.
