Every eye is struck w^ith the dispropor- 

 tionate smallness of the opening through the 

 pelvis ; although the rest of the bone is suf- 

 ficiently large. These bones are somewhat 

 broken , but the parts uninjured are sufficient 

 to shew a very different form from those of the 

 Elephant, which are high in comparison with 

 their breadth ; and consequently the rump of 

 this animal was even more depressed than the 

 Elephant's, in the manner of the American 

 Bisson or Buffaloe. Jn the Elephant, the 

 angles from the os5(^ tabulce to the lateral pro- 

 cesses of the ilium, are very great; whereas 

 in the Mammoth they are almost on a straight 

 line.
