Talk by F. R. G. Shephard
The speaker is a Rhodesian, who spent many years tea planting in the foothills of the Himalaya. There he was shown the skin of an animal identified by the local inhabitants as that of the shukpa, or Abominable Snowman. In his talk he sums up some of the evidence in favour of the existence of this highly controversial creature.
