NOTES, CORRECTIONS, AND 
ELUCIDATIONS. 
Lecture IV. 
Vol. 1. P. 1 12. To what is said in this page of the American. 
Mammoth it may be added, that Monsr. Cuvier is decid- 
edly of opinion that it ought to be considered as an ex- 
tinct animal greatly allied to the Elephant, and which he 
calls Le Grande Mastodonte. The tusks he thinks were 
situated in a similar manner with those of the Elephant, 
and it appears to have been provided with a similar trunk 
or proboscis. See the work entitled Annales du Museum 
d'Histoire Naturelle. No. 46. 
Lecture VI. 
P. 215. — To what is here said of the Dodo add, that 
in some modern publications this bird is, by an enormous 
error, said to have no claws. This I suppose must have 
arisen from a typographical error in Gmelin’s edition of 
the Systema Naturae, where the description added to the 
specific character of the Dodo, concludes with the words 
unguibus nullis instead of unguibus 'pullis, dusky or black 
claws.
