I could make from fo imperfed: an Information, I told 
your Grace then, I was pretty well convinced they mull 
have been the Grinding Teeth of an Elephant : Yet I in- 
gaged, if hereafter I might be fo lucky as to procure a 
View of the Teeth themfeives, I would be more pofitive 
in my Opinion, and give the Reafons on which I groun- 
ded my Conjedure ; as likewife l would have the Shape 
of the Teeth expreft in their full Dimenfions, by more 
true and exad Figures. 
Since that, the four Teeth, with feme of the Fragments of 
the bones that were found with them, have been brought 
here to Dublin, where, by the Favour and Afliftance of 
my ingenious Friend Sir Thomas Southwell, I procured the 
Loan of them, fo long as to examine them particularly, 
make fome Remarks, and take the following corred 
Sketches, that exprefs their Form truly, juft as big as the 
Life; and your Lordlhip feem’d well fatished with the 
Performance of theArtift, when at the fame time I pro- 
duced the Draughts and the Originals from whence they 
were copied, that we might compare them both toge- 
ther. 
Upon the whole, I am now fully convinced, and I can 
upon fure Grounds affirm to your Lordlhip, that they 
muft certainly have been the Four Grinding Teeth in the 
lower Jaw of an Elephant : and that the many loofe Frag- 
ments of thofe large Bones that were found with them, 
muft have been Remains of the fame Animal . This I take 
to be one of the greateft Rarities that has been yet difeo- 
vered in this Country. 
In order to clear this Matter ’twill be lirft requifite to 
have recourfe to, and explain the annext Figures 
Figure the i ft. A A is the large Grinder of the under 
Jaw on the right Side, weighing two Pounds and three 
Quarters of a Pound.
