About This Item
An illustrated two-page description of the platypus which, although based on field observations of one Mr. Bennet, still demonstrates the lack of understanding of this unique creature: "It is now a clearly-ascertained fact, that the young are suckled by their mother, and, consequently, it is not at all probable that they are hatched from eggs".
