Dentes molares, or Grinders, of 20 or 2+ Pound 
weight f , and 'Dentes exert i, two of which weighed 
400 Pound ^ 5 fometimes of a middle Size, as mine 
above-mentioned, and at other times (till fmaller. 
4. That of thofe Teeth, viz. Dentes exerti, fomc 
are ufed as Ivory, to make Combs, Boxes, and fuch 
other Things. Capt. Muller faith **, that it in every 
thing refembles the common Ivory, being but a little 
more brittle, and eafily turning Yellow by Weather or 
Heat. 
Out of thefe quoted Remarks join'd to ocular In- 
fpe&ion, I think I may advance three Things. 
I. That thofe Mammoth's Teeth and Bones are 
truly natural Teeth and Bones, belonging heretofore 
to very large living Animals; becaufe they have not 
only the external Figures and Proportions, but alfo the 
internal Structure analogous to natural Teeth and 
Bones of Animals. 
II. That thofe large Animals have been Elephants 
which appears by the Figure, Strudurc and Bignels of 
the Teeth, which do accurately agree with the Grinders 
and Tusks of Elephants . 
To be convinced hereof, one needs but to compare 
thefe Teeth with the Figures of thofe which fomc 
Years ago were digged up in Ireland , and thofe which 
reprefent the very natural Teeth of Elephant s, and 
confider the accurate Remarks made by Dr. Moli- 
neux and other curious Fellows of the Royal Society 
thereon.
