AMONG the interesting reproductions of early figures that Prof. Eastman has lately presented to the readers of NATURE are two of the giraffe-one (NATURE, February 18) from Ehrenberg's memoir published in 1834, and the other (July 29) from a manuscript in the British Museum. Both these figures are attributed to Thebes; the former, from a ``monument,'' is shown with a monkey-like animal on the back of its neck, and the latter, from a ``tomb,'' has the monkey in front of the neck. In both cases the giraffe faces towards the right, and there can be little doubt that they are efforts of our recent ancestors to try to copy an ancient picture.
