414 On rf° e F°Jfil Bones °f Quadrupedsi 



2. The remains of an animal which have been fctino dri 

 the banks of the Ohio in North America, and which the 

 Americans and the Englifh confider as thofe of the mam- 

 moth alfo, though this animal is very different from the 

 preceding. Remains of it are found alfo in Europe and Afia* 

 It rauft be almoft of the fame height as the elephant, 

 but more bulky. Its tufks are fmaller ; its grinders are 

 armed with large cutting points, the fection of which pre-< 

 fents, when they are worn down, double tranfverfal lo- 

 zenges. There are three grinders on each fide ; one of 

 which has four points, the fecond fix, and the other eight. 



3. The animal, the teeth of which tinged by copper 

 furniih the turquois. Of thefe foffils there was a mine at 

 Sinore in Languedoc. Remains of the fame kind are 

 found in the department of Ain, in Peru, and other places. 

 This animal muft have refemhled the preceding; but the 

 points of its grinders are of a conical form, and, when 

 worn down, their fection prefents, flrft a circle, then a 

 femi-oval, and then the figure of a trefoil ; which has made 

 them be confounded with the teeth of the hippopotamus. 

 Some of thefe teeth have twelve points, others fix, and 

 others four. 



4. The hippopotamus. There are found in France, and 

 other countries, teeth and the fragments of jaw bonea, in 

 which the author has never vet been able to difcover any 

 thing different from thofe of the common hippopotami. As 

 he never faw, however, a whole hone, he cannot affirm the 

 identity. 



5.. That fpecies of rhinoceros with an elongated cranium, 

 the bones of which are found in Siberia, Germany, and 

 other countries. The author has feen teeth and portions 

 of the jaws found in France, which appeared to him to be- 

 long to this animal. The principal chai aclerifing mark of 

 this fpecies confifts in the offeous partition of thi nofe. A, 

 living animal analogous to it is unknown.
