卷三

余自香港以至倫敦,所觀博物院不下二十餘處,常有《詩經》所詠、《爾雅》所釋、《山經》所誌鳥獸草木之名,為近在中國所未見,及至外洋始見之者,頗足以資考證。惟獅子一物,中國詫為難得,而外洋處處有之。其形狀不過與虎相等,非若中國舊圖所繪之雄猛。蓋西人豢養獅子演戲為業者,常取初生之獅飼之,必養之三代而其性稍馴,然後可以演戲,可以鞭撻驅使;然皆其雌者耳,其色黃,其頭頂上無拳毛。若雄者,則頭項皆有拳手。波斯之種,有灰色,有青色,尤為威猛,殆非人間所能畜也。至若鹿之有麈也,狼之有狽也,牛之有犀兕也,魚之有鯨也、鱷也、飛也、比目也,鳥之有鷸也、鷂也、爰居也,獸之有狒狒也、猩猩也、玃父也,均於博物院始見之。此外,殊形異狀,不可殫述。即以犬論,已不下數十百種。惜外洋譯音詰屈,無從與古書印證。果使得暇,諦審其形聲,詳稽其種類,則《詩經》、《爾雅》、《山經》之名,當可十得五六。然余竊謂宇宙間之物,古無而今有者甚夥,即古有而今無者,當亦不也。
