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

DESCRIPTION: "Here I harboured, till one night some monstrous lizard, whose sheer weight made the tree rock like a sapling, endeavoured to suck me forth as a bird picks a worm from a hollow log..." (The Lost Continent by C. J. Cutcliffe Hyne)

NOTES: The forests around Atlantis are inhabited by dinosaurs.

HISTORY: The artist who illustrated, The Lost Continent, Ernest Prater, handles ancient people wonderfully. When it comes to monsters he seems largely out of his depths. This illo above is the worst of the bunch. Ick.
