A card has been received post-marked Strasbourr~ ,mere Prof, Kidden is spending a brief stopover in order to begin a study of the Rhine Oceros. He is travelling right around the world, with about fifteen stopovers, although the main reason for the trip is to visit China and confer with his colleag:ue, Dr, Foo Lini; Yoo. It was five years ae;o that Prof. Kidden and his friend first proposed their revolutionary theory about draeons. 'lhey argue that it is hi~J1ly unlikely that tvio such diverse cultures as Chinese and English would independently invent a mythical animal such as the 'ctrap,;on. (Remember the ler,end of ::,t. George and the dragon?) 'Ihey feel that there must have been a real creature in order for these legends to persist right dovm to the present time. 'Iheir conjecture r:ained a certain amount of credence two years ac;o with the dis­ covery in northern China of fossils entirely different from any previous clinosaur bones. Unfortunately, there were no complete bones but-, ir, s pi t.e of this, these two eminent scientists were able to piece together part of the picture and to modify their theory further, how an entire skeleton has been duG up by Dr , Foo Ling Yoo and Prof. Kidd.en is extremeiy anxious to see it, It is ,,ell known that small amounts of methane r:;as are produced in the c:lip:estive tracts of animals, 'Ihis gas is one of··the Main constituents of natural gas and is produced by rotting vegetation. The phenomenon of "w:i.11-o '-the-wisp" is caused by this gas bubbling up through marshes, The Yoo-Kidden theory is that the c~afons produced unusual quantities of this methane gas, releasinr, just enough to create a flammable mixture of methane and air, ignited by special bristles in the nostrils. They do not feel that the dragons had any natural enemies other than hum.ans such as St. George and contend that the flame-throv-T.i.ng ability was not used as a method of defence hut was, in fact, a mating-display. 1he scientific name Draco flam.mosniratus has been proposed for the species, On his return trip, Prof. Kidden plans to stop over at the Easter Islands in order to study the F.a.ster Seals.
