Dinosaur-like creature of Australia.
A large sea monster which became stranded on the coast of China in 1863. At first 3000 people made a beeline for the beach and proceeded to chop bits off it (the serpent, not the beast). This was reported by Captain Boyle of the Beaver, who witnessed the incident. He procured the head, which had been much mutilated. It was like that of a snake, but the eye was said to resemble that of a pig.
