540 on eemains of the mammoth etc. ekom noetheen spain. 



Discussion. 



Mr. Waeington W. Smyth referred to a visit which he had paid 

 some years ago to the part of Spain referred to in the paper, and 

 described the curious characters of the rocks, and the occurrence in 

 them of extraordinary caverns of great depth. 



Mr. Evans inquired how near to the spot in question remains of 

 Elephas primigenius had been found in the south of France. He 

 also inquired whether the small curved tooth might not be the tusk 

 of a little Elephant. 



The Atjthoe, in reply, stated that the Mammoth had occurred in 

 France near Lyons, where Dr. Falconer had identified teeth in the 

 museum. In Western Europe the species had not previously been 

 met with south of the Pyrenees. Some of the bones were in red 

 soil ; one femur was incrusted with calamine. The small tooth 

 was of a form which seemed to show that it was the canine of a 

 Hippopotamus ; and there was no reason why it should not be so.
