Elephant's Head and Grinders ; presented by Sa- 

 muel Staniforth, Esq. Liverpool. 



The Head of the Gnu (Antelope Gnu), finely pre- 

 served. 



The Skull of the Babyroussa, or Indian Hog. The 

 most distinguishing characteristic of this animal con- 

 sists in four large tusks, the two stoutest of which 

 proceed, like those of the w^ild boar, from the under 

 jaw, pointing upwards ; the two others rise up like 

 horns on the outside of the upper jaw, just above 

 the nose, and extend in a curve above the eyes, 

 almost touching the forehead, and are about seven 

 inches long. The use this animal makes of these 

 tusks is in sleeping ; which they do, as is said, by 

 hooking them on the branches of trees. The Baby- 

 roussa is found in several of the islands of the East 

 Indies. 



The Horn of the Ibex. 



Three Noses of the Saw Fish. The largest of these 

 is three feet seven inches long, eight inches broad at 

 the base, and four at the point ; it is armed at the 

 sides with thirty-eight strong teeth, about an inch and 

 a half long, and two inches from each other. 



The Jaws of an enormous Shark, which measure 

 six feet six inches in circumference. 



The Fossil Tooth of a Shark, nearly four times 

 as large as those in the above jaws. 



Head of a Crocodile, near twenty feet long. 



The Cavity of a Whale's Ear.

 Q inches long, of the most beautiful Ivorj', finely
