  • Description: THE report of observations of a gigantic dinosaurian reptile in the Congo region of Africa, which was made the subject of sensational articles in December last, proves, as we surmised (NATURE, December 18, p. 396), to be without foundation. Mr. Wentworth D. Gray, Acting Representative of the Smithsonian African Expedition in the Katanga, writing from Elisabethville on January 21 to the Times of February 23, says:-"I am authorised to contradict the statement that the members of the Smithsonian African Expedition who proceeded to this territory came here to hunt the Brontosaurus. There is no foundation for this statement. I may also state that the report of the Brontosaurus arose from a piece of practical joking in the first instance, and, as regards the prospector 'Gapelle,' this gentleman does not exist except in the imagination of a second practical joker, who ingeniously coined the name from that of Mr. L. Le Page."
