One of the queerest cormers of the earth is Chatham Island off the coast of Ectiador. This island lies 600 miles west of Guayaquil, and the equator runs directly through it. Captain Rein- man, who was sent to the Galapagos group of islands to inquire into the proper grounding of a deep-sea cable, stopped at Chatham Island, and says it abounds in cats, every one of which is black. These animals live in the crevices of the lava foundation near the coast, and subsist by catching fish and crabs instead of rats and mice.
