Nothing
of
the
sort
,
"
said
the
Professor
,
severely
.
"
Living
,
as
I
do
,
in
an
educated
and
scientific
atmosphere
,
I
could
not
have
conceived
that
the
first
principles
of
zoology
were
so
little
known
.
Is
it
possible
that
you
do
not
know
the
elementary
fact
in
comparative
anatomy
,
that
the
wing
of
a
bird
is
really
the
forearm
,
while
the
wing
of
a
bat
consists
of
three
elongated
fingers
with
membranes
between
?
Now
,
in
this
case
,
the
bone
is
certainly
not
the
forearm
,
and
you
can
see
for
yourself
that
this
is
a
single
membrane
hanging
upon
a
single
bone
,
and
therefore
that
it
can
not
belong
to
a
bat
.
But
if
it
is
neither
bird
nor
bat
,
what
is
it
?
"
My
small
stock
of
knowledge
was
exhausted
.
"
I
really
do
not
know
,
"
said
I.
He
opened
the
standard
work
to
which
he
had
already
referred
me
.
"
Here
,
"
said
he
,
pointing
to
the
picture
of
an
extraordinary
flying
monster
,
"
is
an
excellent
reproduction
of
the
dimorphodon
,
or
pterodactyl
,
a
flying
reptile
of
the
Jurassic
period
.
On
the
next
page
is
a
diagram
of
the
mechanism
of
its
wing
.
Kindly
compare
it
with
the
specimen
in
your
hand
.
"
A
wave
of
amazement
passed
over
me
as
I
looked
.
I
was
convinced
.
There
could
be
no
getting
away
from
it
.
The
cumulative
proof
was
overwhelming
.
The
sketch
,
the
photographs
,
the
narrative
,
and
now
the
actual
specimen
--
the
evidence
was
complete
.
I
said
so
--
I
said
so
warmly
,
for
I
felt
that
the
Professor
was
an
ill-used
man
.
He
leaned
back
in
his
chair
with
drooping
eyelids
and
a
tolerant
smile
,
basking
in
this
sudden
gleam
of
sunshine
.
"
It
's
just
the
very
biggest
thing
that
I
ever
heard
of
!
"
said
I
,
though
it
was
my
journalistic
rather
than
my
scientific
enthusiasm
that
was
roused
.
"
It
is
colossal
.
You
are
a
Columbus
of
science
who
has
discovered
a
lost
world
.
I
'm
awfully
sorry
if
I
seemed
to
doubt
you
.
It
was
all
so
unthinkable
.
But
I
understand
evidence
when
I
see
it
,
and
this
should
be
good
enough
for
anyone
.
"
The
Professor
purred
with
satisfaction
.
