of the same genus: similar remains have been 

 found in various parts of Europe and Asia *. 



" The second of these species is that to 

 which the English, and the inhabitants of the 

 United States, have transferred the name of 

 Mammoth, which properly belongs to the 

 first. It is equally large, but its enormous 

 teeth, armed with conic processes, give to it 

 a peculiar character. Great quantities of 

 these are found on the borders of the Ohio, 

 to the west of the United States, whence al- 

 most every cabinet in Europe and America has 

 been supplied." 



It appears that about the year 1740, great 

 numbers of bones, of this kind, were found in 

 Kentucky, either washed from the banks of 

 the Ohio, or dug up in its neighbourhood ^ 



* It is not so generally known as it should be, that bones 

 and teeth, similar to such as are found in Siberia, have been 

 A'scovered in several parts of England. Mr. Wansey, of 

 Sahsbury, sent for my inspection some which w:ere dug in 

 Salisbury Plains ; others have been found in the Isle of Dogs i. 

 some near Bristol, &:c. These fossil remains deserve more 

 attention than they have hitherto received ; but it is hoped a 

 proper collection of them may be formed, and the subject 

 rightly investigated;.
