Inscriptions/Markings
Inscribed on mount, "We had a glimpse ... of a head of a furious wild beast/ With great fiery eyes and gnashing teeth. Its voice was a/ sort of mixture-there was the roaring of a lion, the bellowing/ of a bull, and now and then a scream like a gigantic parrot./ 'There's no judging by the voice!' the Professor cried in great excitement".
