26 THE HAIRY MAMMOTH. 
Vernueil and an English naturalist, Dr. Falconer, visited the 4 
cayes of Perigord in the department of Dordogne, France, — 
and discovered, in the soil and debris in the bottom of these — 
caves, various sketches of animals carved on pieces of deer’s 1 
horns and elephant’s ivory. 4 
We copy from an account of the discoveries made by Lar-

archeologist, Professor J. Steenstrup, for a Danish Natural — 
History J ournal, published at Copenhagen),* drawings that 3 
rival in interest the Rosetta Stone, specimens of Egyptian 
and Assyrian sculpture, or the remains of Aztec art. Fig. 1_
