g. The other Procefs or inward Head, cover'd with a 
Cartilage, together with its Fellow. 
h. Two vertical Sinufes in the Tibia anfwering to the 
external Trochanter . 
The Bones of this Skeleton, with the Ribs, Ver- 
tebra^ and others thereto belonging, were found in 
the fandy Side of a fteep Hill, on the Eaftern Bank of 
the River Indigirska, which falls into the Northern 
Ocean, not far from the Mouth of the Rivulet Woloc- 
kowoi rufzei . The River Indigirska to the Eaft of 
the River Jena , where it runs in its own Channel, 
has not been laid down by Mr. JVitfen in his Map of 
the North-Eaft Part of Afia : But its Courfe is de- 
feribed by Is brand Ides in the Map of his Travels* 
And fome of thefe Bones are found now and then not 
only in thefe Parts, (which are fo dangerous on Ac- 
count of the exceflive Cold, and continued Chains of 
inacceflible Mountains, that to us Europeans , who 
have the Happinefs to live in a milder Climate, it 
would be prefent Death to travel through them) but 
likewife in the Sand-hills on the Rivers Chatanga* 
Thomas , Tobol , Irtifch , &c. which are all at a good 
Diftance from the Sea 5 though neither Elephant s, 
nor chimerical Behemoths , have been ever leen in 
thofe Countries, nor could they live therein by reafon 
of the Inclemency of the Air. Wherefore the beft 
Judges follow the Opinion of the learned Dr. Wood - 
ward, the Scheuchzers , and others, (whofe Argu- 
ments, which are well known and of great Weight 
among the Literati , I think needlefs here to repeat) 
in taking them for the Bones of Antediluvian Animals, 
or of fuch as were convey'd thither in the univerfal 
S Deluge.
