MAMMOTH 489 
The MAMMOTH or SIBERIAN ELEPHANT (Elephas primigenius), 
Nearly allied to the Indian elephant, but the plates of the teeth 
still narrower and more numerous, the tusks spirally twisted, the 
ears smaller, and the skin clothed in woolly fur with long bristles inter- 
mixed. 
Remains of this species occur in the superficial deposits of Europe 
and Northern Asia. In the frozen soil of Siberia the skin, flesh, and 
hair are frequently preserved, and the ivory is often suitable for the 
purposes of the turner.
