Other have met alfo with chofe greater Tusks with which they 
are armed, of which I have not heard there have been any yet 
found in England^ nor any thing like them. 
164. Add hereunto what prevails with me much, that fmce 
the great conflagration of ZoWo;?, Anno i()66, upon the pulling 
down of St. Mary Wool'Church^ and making the fite of it into a 
Mercat'flace^ there was found a thigh-bone (fuppofed. to be of a 
Woman ) now to be feen at the Kings-head Tavern at Greenwich in 
Kent^ much bigger and longer than ours of f?o/7e could in pro- 
portion be, had it been intire. We have alfo here at /?:5(/or^/'^, a 
thigh-bone that came from London^ three foot and two inches 
long, which I guefs may be of an agreeable proportion with 
ours. And the fame day I brought the tooth from Cornwell^ there 
were two others happily procured for me by my worthy Friend 
Samuel Fowler A. M. dug up in the Parifli Church of Morton Va- 
lence^ aboutfcven miles from Glocefier^ in the way thence to Bri- 
fiol, in all points fo exaftly like the other from Cornwell^ in ridges, 
cavities, isrc that had they not differ'd fomwhat in colour, they 
could fcarce have any way been diftinguifli'd. Now how Ele- 
phants ftiould come to be buryed in Churches^ is a queftion not 
eafily anfwered, except we will run to fo groundlefs a (liift, as to 
fay, that poffibly the Elephants might be there buryed before 
Chriftianity floridrd in Britan^ and that thefe Churches were af- 
terward cafually built over them. 
165. If it be urged out of P onticm Virunniu^ ^ and fome o- 
thers, that the Emperor Claudius was at Glocefler^ and that he 
built that City after his own name, in memory of the Marriage of 
his fair Daughter Gennifa, with Arviragm then King of Britan °, 
where poffibly he might have fome of his Elephants with him, 
which might dye and be buried thereabout. It muft be anfwer- 
ed, that notwithfranding the name of Claudii Caftrum^ now Glo- 
ufter^ ieemsfo much to favor the ftory in hand, that yet in all 
likelyhood there was never any fuch matter : For neither Sue- 
tonius ^, who numbers up all the Daughters that he had, and 
j shews how given in Marriage. Nor Dion"^^ who do's the fame 
(who lived in his time, and had born the Office of Conful) remem- 
ber any fuch Daughter, or fo difpofed of to Arviragus,
