Nor needs any body to doubt, that they are true 
Teeth of Elephants ; from the uncommon Size of the 
Mammoth’s Teeth before-mention'd 5 becaufe Verto- 
mannus , as the famous Mr. John Ray tells us, has 
feen in Sumatra a Pair of Elephant’s Tusks of 33 6 
Pound Weight; and Terzagus, in Mufeo Septa-

Flood was univerfal, a thing which is doubted by 
many, may be proved again by natural Hiftory. 
Here I muft take Notice, that fuch Teeth and Bones 
alfo are to be found in feveral other Countries befides 
Siberia , as Roland , Germany, Italy , England , Ire-

calcined, without doubt by the greater Warmth of 
thofe Climates. 
Hither are alfo to be referred the large Bones found 
under Ground, or rather Tusks of Elephants, known 
by the Names of Ebur, feu Unicornu fojfile , which are
