Abstract
IN NATURE of February 18 and July 29, 1915, and in the American Museum Journal for last year, figures were published of ancient Egyptian and also of late fifteenth-century representations of the giraffe. To this series of olden-time drawings may now be added one from Chinese sources, dating probably from the early Ming period, a reproduction of which is shown in the accompanying illustration.
