in the reports of the travellers must be sought in the mediaeval romances about antiquity; a fact which reflects the importance attached to them as encyclopaedias and authoritative books of information. With increasing knowledge of geographical realities there developed a tendency to locate the monsters and fabulous creatures which populate the imaginary kingdoms of ancient and mediaeval descriptions of the world, in ever more distant corners of the earth. Fabulous creatures such as the kynocephali, the monoculi, or the pygmies, -the tradition of which is closely linked with that of the Amazons, are still to be found on geographical maps of the sixteenth century, but, alas ! they have been driven to the South Polar regions !
