SOURCE: The Lost Continent by C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne (Pearson's Magazine, July-December, 1899)

DESCRIPTION: "The body he threw over the side, and one of the great man-eating birds that hovered near, picked it up and flew away with it to its nest amongst the crags..." (The Lost Continent by C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne)

NOTES: Atlantis is inhabited by many dangerous animals including these raptorous birds.

HISTORY: I have to wonder if Hyne had the Arabian Roc in mind when he thought up these creatures? No matter it still inspired the tarns of Norman's Tarnsmen of Gor.
