Mr. Clark has just painted for Dr. Williston a picture of a sabre toothed tiger Hoplophoneus Occidentalis in his natural surroundings, as far as it was possible to ascertain. The picture is is an excellent one, displaying great artistic imagination, and reflects much credit on Mr. Clark. Several features of the picture are merely conjectural. There is no animal living to day that exactly resembles the one above. Mr. Clark has presumed the color of the animal to be like that of the tiger of to day, and determined the form and the proportions from the restoration which was made by Mr. Riggs; a copy of which was sent to the authorities of the American Museum. They are also going to make a painting in much the same way. The picture is to be used by Dr. Williston in illustrating an article which he is now writing for an eastern magazine.
