GEOLOGY. 



In the beginning of December 1 806, as some labourers 

 were digging clay in the brick-yard of Mr. Pool, at Bottes- 

 ford, near Grantham, they discovered, nine feet below the 

 surface, the head and horns of an animal of the bull kind, 

 but of extraordinary dimensions. The horns, together with 

 a piece of frontal bone, weigh 31 lbs. and measure from tip 

 to tip 2 feet 1 inch ; and at the greatest bridcre of the 

 horns the distance is 3 feet 2 inches. Each horn measures 

 from skull to tip 2 feet 8 inches; and is at its base I foot 

 l^y inch. A single tooth weighs 2-i- ounces. There was an 

 immense cavity in the clay, supposed to have contained the 

 body; and on each side was a very large piece of an oak 

 tree, as black as ebony. Part of the horns, near the tip, 

 are petrified. The parts found are at present in the posses- 

 sion of Mr. J. Wright, surgeon, of Bottesford.
