with the radius and ulna of the left, the right 

 scapula, the atlas, and, the great object of our 

 pursuit, a complete under jaw ! 



After such a variety of labour and length of 

 fruitless expectation, this success was extremely- 

 grateful to all parties, and the woods echoed 

 with repeated huzzas* '« Gracious God, what 

 a jaw ! how many animals have been crushed 

 between it !" was the exclamation of all -, a fresh 

 supply of grog w^ent round, and the hearty fel- 

 lows, covered with mud, continued the search. 

 The upper part of the head was found twelve 

 feet distant, but so extremely rotten that we 

 could only preserve the teeth and a few frag- 

 ments. In its form it exactly resembled the 

 head found at Masten's, but as that was much 

 injured by rough usage, this from its small depth 

 beneath the surface, had the cranium so rotted 

 away as only to shew the form around the teeth 

 and thence extending to the condyles of the 

 neck ; the rotten bone formed a black and greasy 

 mould above that part which was still entire, 

 yet so tender as to break to pieces on lifting it 

 from its bed. 



This collection was rendered still more com- 

 plete by the addition of thofe formerly taken up.
