to examine the Teeth of the Creature, the Iqnpreflions 
whereof he caufed to be taken in Wax, and thereby 
found, that the pretended Giant’s Tooth fent him from 
Tunis , was only the Grinder of an Elephant. This 
is the fccond large Skeleton dug up near Tunis in 
Africa , and it appearing plainly by the Tooth fent 
to Teiresk , that it was the Skeleton of an Elephant, 
it may from thence very probably be conjedured, fome 
other Circumftances concurring, that the other alfo, ' 
which Guilandinus faw there, mufl have been rather 
of an Elephant, than of a Giant. 
Thomas Bartholin * mentions the Grinder, or 
Maxillar-tooth of an Elephant, which was dug up in 
Ijland , and fent to him by Tetrus Refenius. It 
was turned to a perfeCt ftony Subftance, like Flint, 
as was alfo the Tusk of a Rofmarus , dug up in the 
fame Ifiand. 
A large Tooth, which by its Shape appears plainly 
to be the Grinder of an Elephant, is defcribed and 
figured by Lambecius f, who had it out of the Em- 
peror's Library, though he could not be informed 
where it was found, or how it got thither. It weigh- 
ed 'i 8 Ounces, and was commonly taken to be the 
Tooth of a Giant. Antonins de Tozzis, chief Phy- 
fician to the Emperor, in a Letter to Lambecius 
affirms it to be an Elephant’s Tooth, and conjectures, 
that it was dug up at Baden , about four Miles from 
Vienna , where, but a few Years before he wrote this 
Letter, they had found alfo the Os Tibia & femoris of 
an Elephant.
