Britannia, pag.' 347. that abundance of Elephants were 
brought over into England, by the Emperor CUudlus, in 
his Wars with the Britalns 5 yea, into ^fex irftU, as ap' 
pears from the fame a little after in thefe ^ words : 
Qaudi^^ having at laft joyned P/^/z^/z/^r, and took'rhe com- 
mand of the Army, pafled the River (meaning tnQThiimcs) 
and upon a fair engagement with the Enemy, who were 
ported there to receive him, obtained the Viftory, took 
CamolodHnum^ d^c. 
Thirdly, la comparing this Bone with the Ofteology 
of Dr Mullins in his Anatomical account of the Elephinc 
burnt at Dublin^ &l\ I find it perfedly to agree to and 
with the Os hnnizri thereof, not only to outward appear- 
ance or form, but to meafure alfo^ from which circu i]-

And it does feemingly appear to me.that thcGTeeth and 
Bones mentioned by Mr &/;^/?er,might have been the Te.th 
and Bones of fome Elephant, rather than of the Hippopo^a-

of which this Chartbam is a neighbouring Village, fituate 
in the fame Down, and. on the fame Fviver Stom\ that it 
is a current report amongft the Inhabitants that Jidius 
far encampt there, ia his fecond Expedition againft the 
Britains and thence it was called asif oneftiould 
fay, Jrdius Station or Houfe, 
It appears further, Britan, p. 208. that RhatupU (which 
whether Richborough or Stoner matters not ) fituate near 
the prefent Sandmich, was the place of Claudius his Land- 
ing in Britain and that through this Down was his near- 
eft paflage to the Thames fis indifputable) whither he was 
going; So that 'tis highly probable, that during the (lay, 
paffing or repafling of thefe Roman Armies through thefe 
Downs, fome one of their Elephants might perifh or dye, 
aad be buried there- ' Se-
