The California academy of sciences has been searching for one of these bird-animals, and at one time a very large reward was offered for it. At the time when “Truthful Jeemes” discovered the pre-historic Calaveras skull and the plethiosaurus, it was believed that the searchers were getting very near to either the whangdoodle or the gyasticutus. But the branch scientific academy of Murphy and camp ran out of funds, and the explorations had to be given up. It was reserved for the glorious section of the state, which always must have grown anything that was grown anywhere else, to carry off the great honor of first presenting to the world a complete specimen of the famed gyasticutus. It is needless to say that this “find” will shake the scientific world from center to circumference. Never since Mr. Pickwick discovered the great archaic stone has there been so valuable a discovery made in natural history. From— Los Angeles Herald. (Los Angeles [Calif.]), 01 July 1891.
