  The 
  Warren 
  Mastoden 
  Skeleton, 
  to 
  which 
  

   frequent 
  allusion 
  is 
  made 
  below, 
  was 
  exhumed 
  near 
  Newburgh, 
  in 
  

   1845, 
  and 
  now 
  stands 
  in 
  the 
  Warren 
  Museum 
  in 
  Boston. 
  It 
  is 
  

   nearly 
  complete, 
  * 
  and 
  forms 
  the 
  subject 
  of 
  a 
  memoir.f 
  

  

  The 
  Baltimore 
  Mastodon 
  was 
  found 
  likewise 
  in 
  Orange 
  county. 
  

   Its 
  many 
  deficient 
  bones 
  were 
  supplied 
  by 
  wooden 
  models, 
  and 
  

   the 
  whole 
  exhibited 
  in 
  Peale's 
  Museum, 
  Philadelphia; 
  the 
  dis- 
  

   membered 
  bones 
  now 
  lie 
  in 
  the 
  Warren 
  Museum.

  Mastodon, 
  discovered 
  in 
  Warren 
  county, 
  New 
  

   Jersey, 
  in 
  1844, 
  is 
  smaller 
  and 
  less 
  complete 
  than 
  the 
  Warren 
  

   skeleton; 
  it 
  stands 
  in 
  the 
  Anatomical 
  Museum 
  of 
  Harvard 
  Uni- 
  

   versity.

  a 
  large 
  adult 
  

   skeleton 
  standing 
  by 
  the 
  side

  Measurements. 
  — 
  All 
  the 
  smaller 
  linear 
  dimensions 
  were 
  

   measured 
  with 
  callipers, 
  the 
  larger 
  with 
  tape-line. 
  Measurements 
  

   taken 
  from 
  Dr. 
  Warren's 
  memoir 
  and 
  not 
  verified, 
  are 
  marked 
  

   with 
  an 
  asterisk 
  ( 
  # 
  ): 
  it 
  should 
  be 
  stated 
  that 
  some 
  other 
  dimensions 
  

   given 
  in 
  the 
  same 
  work 
  were 
  proved, 
  by 
  comparison 
  with 
  the 
  

   bones, 
  to 
  be 
  too 
  great.
