Mr. James Meadows, of the Ashton Canal Company, pre- 
sented to the Manchester Geological Society a portion of the 
tusk of an elephant which he had found in a limestone fissure 
at Doveholes, near Chapel-en-le-Frith. This specimen is 
now in the museum of the Society in Peter-street. The late 
Mr. F. Looney, F.G.S., in his List of Organic Remains, pub- 
lished with Mr. Elias Hall’s Geological Map, in 1836, in 
alluding to the fossils found in the “ superficial gravel,” says : 
“ Part of a molar tooth of the Asiatic elephant was found at 
Adlington, near Macclesfield, and is now in the possession of 
William Clayton, Esq.” With these three exceptions he 
had never heard of the remains of the elephant having been 
met with in the counties of Derby and Chester, and he felt 
much obliged to Mr. Brockbank for taking the trouble to col- 
lect the fine series of remains on the table, and exhibit them 
to the members of the Society.
