Mailart - lost worlds

"And there we were, the four of us, upon the dreamland, the lost world... ...Following the tracks, we had left the morass and passed through a screen of brushwood and trees. Beyond was an open glade, and in this were five of the most extraordinary creatures that I have ever seen. Crouching down among the bushes, we observed them at our leisure."

~ The Lost World, Arthur Conan Doyle
