NOTES, CORRECTIONS, AND 

 ELUCIDATIONS. 



LECTURE IV. 



Vol. I. P. 1 12. To what is said in this page of the American 

 Mammoth it may be added, that Monsr. Cuvier is decid* 

 edly of opinion that it ought to be considered as an ex- 

 tinct animal greatly allied to the Elephant, and which he 

 calls Le Grande Mastodonte. The tusks he thinks were 

 situated in a similar manner with those of the Elephant, 

 and it appears to have been provided with a similar trunk 

 or proboscis. See the work entitled Annales du Museum 

 d'Histoire Naturette. No. 46. 



LECTURE VI. 



P. 215 To what is here said of the Dodo add, that 

 in some modern publications this bird is, by an enormous 

 error, said to have no claws. This I suppose must have 

 arisen from a typographical error iri Gmelin's edition of 

 the Systema Naturae, where the description added to the 

 specific character of the Dodo, concludes with the words 

 unguibus nullis instead of unguibus pullis, dusky or black 

 claws*
