removed without much labour. The tusk was lying upon its convex 

 part, and notwithstanding every precaution, broke into several pieces, 

 upon our attempting to remove it. It measured four feet and a half 

 long, and from twenty-two to twenty-four inches in circumference ; but 

 neither the base nor point were perfect. The largest grinder of the lower 

 jaw weighed six pounds four ounces ; its upper surface being three inches 

 and a half wide, and seven inches long ; one of the molares of the upper 

 jaw was broken in two, and the pieces detached from each other." 



The grinders and bones of the elephant, and horse, occur in the 

 calcareous bed at Brighton, as previously mentioned. 



The antlers and bones of the red deer are said to have been discovered 

 in a bed of loam, in sinking a well near the barracks, a mile to the north- 

 east of Brighton ; but much confidence cannot be placed in the correctness 

 of the information.
