"A merry, extravagant, deliciously satirical, screamingly funny story by the man who wrote Iole. Don't miss it! Lavishly illustrated in color and line by Henry Hutt. Look for the girl on the cover!"
--blurb in standalone advertisement, New York Times 1915-11-27 p. 11
Review (earliest found): "Robert W. Chambers, Literary Cartoonist", NY Times -12-05 p. BR492
1915 Appleton title page states "New York and London", and the British Library reports only this edition, BL 000655156 (none found in 1915/16 UK newspapers).
Synopsis: A thematic sequel to In Search of the Unknown. The reader is confronted with even more lost species, including mammoths in the Canadian glaciers, a group of "cave-ladies" in the Everglades, a gigantic worm burrowing beneath the fields of upstate New York, a school of minnows the size of Pullman cars, etc.
In Search of the Unknown (1904) and Police!!! (1915):
"The Lost Species sequence – [these two collections of linked stories] – features the adventures of a philandering zoologist in his search for unknown beasts ..."
--SFE3: Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), biog. entry by Mike Ashley
