NOTES 



At the Dover Harbour Extension Works, in November, 1895, 

 the upper molar tooth of a mammoth (Elephas primigenius) -was 

 brought up from the sea bottom ; although the plates of enamel 

 were separating from each other by chemical action, the specimen 

 was not water worn and had no appearance of having been rolled 

 on the beach. 



Sea Temperature. — The lowest sea temperatures were taken 

 on the 2nd, 8th, and 1 6th February as 36. As usual this may be 

 accounted for by snow melting on the surface of the sea. At the 

 end of February and beginning of March the surface temperature 

 rose to 38, this being two degrees below the normal winter 

 temperature of 40. The highest record was on the 3rd September 

 of 65, being two degress above the temperature on the same date 

 of the previous year. The highest air temperature at Dover (sea 

 front) was on 22nd August, 82, and the lowest, 8th February, 12. 

 A great many conger eels died of cold. — (1895J.
