ELEPHAS PRIMIGENIUS. 259 
In Scotland remains of the Mammoth have been found in 
the drift clay between Edinburgh and Falkirk, at Kalmuir 
in Ayreshire, In Ireland they have been found at Maghery 
in the county of Cavan, and in the drift near Tully-doly, 
county of Tyrone. 
The celebrated cave at Kirkdale concealed remains of 
Mammoths: the molars here detected were all of small 
size; very few of them exceed three inches in their longest 
diameter, and they must have belonged to extremely young 
animals, which had been dragged in by the Hyzenas for food 
with Rhinoceroses, Hippopotamuses, and large Ruminantia. 
The molars of the Mammoth which I have hitherto seen 
from the cave called Kent’s Hole near Torquay are of 
similar young specimens; here they are associated with 
the Hyzena, the great Cave Tiger, the Cave Bear, &c.: and 
I entirely accede to Dr. Buckland’s explanation, that the 
bones or bodies of these young Mammoths were introduced 
into the cave by the Carnivora which co-existed with them. 
Quitting the dry land and caves of Great Britain, we 
find the bed of the German Ocean a most fertile depositary 
of the remains of the Klephas primigenius, and they are 
generally remarkable for their fine state of preservation. 
Captain Byam Martin, the harbour-master at Ramsgate, 
possesses several well-preserved specimens which have been 
from time to time brought up by the deep-sea nets of the 
fishermen. A fine lower jaw of a young Mammoth, in the 
possession of Mr. G. B. Sowerby, was thus dredged up off 
the Dogger Bank; and a femur and portion of a large 
tusk, before described, were raised from twenty-five fathoms 
at low water, midway between Yarmouth and the Dutch 
coast. Remains of the Mammoth have also been raised 
in the British Channel from the shoals called Varn and 
Ridge, which lie midway between Dover and Calais.
