This classic cryptozoology text (1892) was one of the first to systematically compile and analyze reports of an alleged animal to determine whether it could feasibly be explained by an unknown species. Oudemans theorized that many of these reports of sea serpents suggested the presence of a large marine pinniped. The text covers hoaxes, misidentifications, and other theories about sea serpents which had been put forward previously by various writers and researchers.

This is a non-facsimile reprint. The text includes numerous black-and-white illustrations.
