Abstract

I wish to lay before the Royal Society, an account of an
accident which recently occurred to a friend of mine while
handling a Platypus, as there are circumstances connected
with it, which are rather singular in their nature, and I
think worthy of your attention. The friend I allude to
is Mr. Augustas Simson, a member of this Society, who is now
residing in Gould's Country.
