THE GEOLOGIST. 



part has rotted away. The head had not any nose-horn, and it could not 

 be made out how the fleshy head had been separated from the carcass. 

 In the open air its odour was ver}' offensive, and it was only after under- 

 going a process of drying nearly approaching the first stage of carboniza- 

 tion that it was possible to place it in the museum. 



The museum contains five other rhinoceros-heads and five horns from 

 various not precisely indicated places in Siberia. 



Ox-skulls, and bones of a still unknown species, on the bank of the 

 Swiaja, on the right, and of the Irgis, on the left of the Volga (P.). 



Ox-bones, on the bank of the Ural river, near Walmukawa (P.), and on 

 many places of the same bank (Steller, Pallas). 



Ox-skull, on the Ob, near Obdorsk, where also bones were found (P.) ; 

 on the Mias of the Iset of the Tobol ; on the Tura ; on the Oi of the 

 Ural river, in the steppes of Kirgis ; on the Wilvi of the Lena ; on the 

 Tunguska of the Yenisei ; on the Kuda of the Angara ; on the Ilga, near 

 the Ilginskoi Ostrog, on the Lena ; on the Anadyr of the Baltic Sea ; and 

 in many places of Siberia (Nov. Com. Petrop.). 



Bones, perhaps of a hippopotamus, on a branch of the Belaja of the 

 Kama (P.). 



Morse-teeth, in the arctic turf-fields of the Polar Sea, in many places 

 pretty abundantly, and so fresh as to be used for ivory, and forming a 

 branch of commerce. 



An exhumed morse-tooth, 8| lb. weight, on the Gulf of Penschia ; an- 

 other, weighing 5| lb., on the Kamtschatka (P. Nord. Beitr.).

 near the Udjadinskoi Simowie, near the Anadirskoi Ostrog, in a moor.

 Siberia. 



Bones, transformed into limestone, were dug up on the Ischova, near 

 Gatschina, 9 feet deep (Model). 



In the striated limestone on the right bank of the Volga, near Saratow,
