25. Remains of the Mammoth.—On Saturday, two tusks 
of the Mammoth, brought home by Captain Beechy, were 
exhibited, and described to _ Wernerian Society, by 
Professor. Jameson. The n fine preservation, and 
not bent in one direction, but Sete spirally, like the horns 
of some species of cows. The smallest, which is quite en- 
tire, is nine feet nine inches in ane ; ‘the largest, which 
wants a small part of the point, must have measured ori- 
ginally twelve feet. Judging from analogy, Professor Jame- 
son stated, that the mammoth to which the largest be- 
longed, ot have been fifteen or sixteen feet high, and con- 
sequently larger than the elephant, which is an animal of the 
same spacies ey were found on the west coast of America, 
near Beering’s Straits, at Escholz Bay, latitude 66, in a very 
remarkable bluff, which has been described by Kotzebue. 
The bluff has a covering of earth and grass, but Kotzebue, 
while encamped on it, having cut through the surface for 
€ purpose, was surprised to find, that what he took for a 
portion of terra firma, was in reality a mountain ofice, a hun- 
dred feet in height above the level of the water, but attach- 
ed to the land, as such icebergs old are. This discov- 
ery led to another still more interestin It was found that 
this mass of ice had imbedded in it a vast number of the tusks, 
teeth, and bones of the mammoth, of which the objects we 
have described, are a part. ese remains must have been 
enclosed in the ice by the same catastrophe that buried the 
mammoth, which was found entire in a singular envelope on 
the banks of the Lena, thirty years ago ; and that catastro- 
phe, beyond a doubt, was no other than ‘the general deluge, 
which extinguished the race of animals to which these remains 
belonged. The bones, tusks, &c. were numerous, and some 
= of thé ice near the place where they were ae 
d a smell of decayed animal matter, arising, no doubt, 
e decomposition of the flesh. The tusks are in their
