Plate II. 



Primitive Picture of a Mammoth engraved on a Fragment 

 of mammoth's tusk. 



The picture is so well done that one must believe that the artist, a cave 

 dweller in Southern France, had seen the animal, if he did not make 

 the drawing from real life. The original engraving, which is about 

 three times the size of the reproduction, is in the Museum d'Hlstoire 

 Naturelle, Paris. 



Parts of the Skelelon of a Mammoth that were found in 1897 in 

 THE Ural Mountains. 



Now preserved in the museum at Ekaterinburg, Russia. The photograph w^s 

 taken in the yard of one of the peasants who made the find, and it is he who 

 appears in the picture.
