  In 
  all 
  the 
  cases 
  that 
  fell 
  under 
  my 
  observation 
  the 
  bones 
  were 
  

   detached, 
  and 
  not 
  lying 
  so 
  as 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  a 
  skeleton. 
  Close 
  

   against 
  one 
  side 
  of 
  a 
  boulder 
  a 
  large 
  quantity 
  of 
  Elephant-bones 
  was 
  

   found, 
  giving 
  one 
  the 
  impression 
  that 
  a 
  carcase 
  had 
  been 
  brought 
  up 
  

   by 
  the 
  stone 
  while 
  rolling 
  down 
  the 
  river 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  bones 
  were 
  so 
  

   much 
  broken 
  and 
  scattered 
  when 
  I 
  saw 
  them, 
  that 
  I 
  could 
  not 
  ascer- 
  

   tain 
  whether 
  they 
  all 
  belonged 
  to 
  one 
  skeleton 
  or 
  not. 
  

  

  In 
  following 
  up 
  a 
  tusk 
  which 
  I 
  had 
  traced 
  for 
  5 
  feet 
  6 
  inches, 
  a 
  

   portion 
  of 
  the 
  right 
  side 
  of 
  an 
  Elephant's 
  pelvis 
  was 
  found 
  ; 
  it 
  con- 
  

   sisted 
  of 
  the 
  entire 
  ilium, 
  with 
  the 
  acetabulum 
  and 
  ischium, 
  aud 
  

   was 
  lying 
  partly 
  under 
  the 
  tusk. 
  Under 
  the 
  ilium, 
  and 
  in 
  contact 
  

   with 
  it, 
  was 
  a 
  fine 
  third 
  upper 
  molar, 
  perfectly 
  entire 
  and 
  unrolled 
  ; 
  

   but 
  there 
  was 
  no 
  trace 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  jaw 
  or 
  of 
  the 
  bones 
  of 
  the 
  head. 
  

   Close 
  by 
  was 
  a 
  tibia, 
  somewhat 
  worn 
  at 
  the 
  ends 
  ; 
  and 
  in 
  disinterring 
  

   this, 
  another 
  complete 
  half 
  of 
  an 
  Elephant's 
  pelvis 
  was 
  found. 
  Like 
  

   the 
  first, 
  it 
  belonged 
  to 
  the 
  right 
  side. 
  In 
  opening 
  out 
  the 
  ground 
  

   for 
  this, 
  the 
  radius 
  of 
  a 
  large 
  Ox 
  was 
  brought 
  to 
  light, 
  and 
  the 
  point 
  

   of 
  an 
  Elephant's 
  tusk. 
  Wear 
  it 
  were 
  the 
  acetabulum 
  and 
  pubis 
  of 
  the 
  

   left 
  side 
  of 
  an 
  Elephant's 
  pelvis. 
  These 
  were 
  all 
  in 
  the 
  gravel, 
  and 
  

   in 
  a 
  space 
  of 
  5 
  feet 
  square. 
  

  

  No 
  Flint 
  Implements 
  were 
  found, 
  though 
  carefully 
  looked 
  for. 
  

   The 
  search, 
  however, 
  was 
  very 
  partial.
