found in the British Channel. 1 63 



water, about mid-way between Yarmouth and the coast of Holland, 65 miles 

 E.N.E. of the Galloper-sand, and about 120 miles from the locality where the 

 humerus was obtained. Its dimensions are as follows : — 



Length from the head of the femur to the lower condyle 49 inches. 



Circumference of the head of the femur 24 — 



Width across the ball and the great trochanter 18 — 



Circumference of the neck of the femur 42 — 



of the centre of the shaft 18 — 



of the lower part of the shaft above the condyle 29 — 



The lower condyle is partially worn away. 



I have also two molars of different sizes which were trawled up at considerable 

 distances from each other in the British Channel and at different periods. My 

 collection therefore contains portions of six Mammoths ; and Mr. Fairholme's 

 molar found in Ramsgate constitutes part of a seventh. 



Extract from a Notice, by Dr. Buckland, on Teeth of the Elephant obtained from the 

 Bristol and British Channels, read June 5th, 1839. 



Sir John Trevelyan possesses a very large molar of an Elephant, found three or 

 four years ago in the bed of the Bristol Channel near Watchett ; and an Elephant's 

 molar tooth, in the collection of Lady Ilchester, was thrown up on the Chesil-bank, 

 Dorsetshire.
