Tower of Babel. Essedons. Dragons. Pigmies. The Monoceros. The Mantichore. A Sphinx. The King of the Cyclops. Blemmye. Parasol lip. Monocle.] Below are seen dragons and pigmies, always to the east of Asia, and a little further away in the midst of a strange country, _the King of the Cyclops_. This extraordinary geography shows us in India the "Mantichore, who has a triple range of teeth, the face of a man, blue eyes, the red colour of blood, the body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion; its voice is a whistle." On the north of the Ganges is represented a man with one leg, shading his head with his foot, which is explained by the following legend:--"In India dwell the Monocles, who have only one leg, but who nevertheless move with surprising velocity; when they wish to protect themselves from the heat of the sun they make a shadow with the sole of their foot, which is very large." The Blemmys have their mouth and eyes in their chest; others have their mouths and eyes on their shoulders. The Parvini are Ethiopians that have four eyes. To the east of Syene is a man seated who is covering his head with his lip, "people who with their prominent lip shade their faces from the sun." Above is drawn a little sun, with the word _sol_. Then comes an animal of human form, having the feet of a horse and the head and beak of a bird; he rests on a stick, and the legend tells us it is a satyr; the fauns, half men and half horses; the cynocephales--men with the head of a dog; and the cyanthropes--dogs with the heads of men. The sphinx has the wings of a bird, the tail of a serpent, the head of a woman. It is placed in the midst of the Cordilleras, which are joined to a great chain of mountains. Here lastly is seen the _monoceros_, a terrible animal; but here is the marvel: "When one shows to this _monoceros_ a young girl, who, when the animal approaches, uncovers her breast, the monster, forgetting his ferocity, lays his head there, and when he is asleep may be taken defenceless." Near to the lake Meotides is a man clothed in Oriental style, with a hat that terminates in a point, and holding by the bridle a horse whose harness is a human skin, and which is explained thus by the Latin legend: "Here live the griffins, very wicked men, for among other crimes they proceed so far as to make clothes for themselves and their horses out of the skins of their enemies." More to the south is a large bird, the ostrich; according to the legend, "the ostrich has the head of a goose, the body of a crane, the feet of a calf; it eats iron."
