Another Tooth, probably of an Elephant too, is 
defcribed and figured by Lambecius *, who had it 
out of the Emperor’s Library. It weighed 23 Ounces, 
and was found in the Year 1644 at Krembs , in the 
lower Aujiria , as they were increafing the Fortifica- 
tions of that Place. 
The Year following, when the Swedes came to be- 
fiege the Town of Krembs , a whole Skeleton of a 
Giant, as was pretended, was found at the Top of a 
neighbouring Mountain, near an old Tower. The 
Befiegers, in their Intrenchments there, being very much 
incommoded by the Water that came down from the 
Mountains, dug a Ditch three or four Fathoms deep, 
to lead it another Way. It was in digging this Ditch „ 
they found the Skeleton aforefaid, which was very 
much admired for its unufual Size. Many of the 
Bones, chiefly thofe of the Head, fell to Pieces upon 
being expofed to the Air, others were broke by the 
Careleflnefs of the Workmen \ fome efcaped entire, and 
were fent to learned Men in Poland and Sweden. 
Among thefe was a Shoulder-bone, with an Acetabu- 
lum in it large enough to hold a Cannon-ball. The 
Head, with Regard to its Bulk, was compared to a 
round Table, and the Bones of the Arms (or Fore- 
legs) as thick as a Man of an ordinary Size. One of 
the Grinders, weighing five Pounds, was given to the 
' Jefeiits at Krembs : Another is figured by Happe - 
Lius (in his Relationes CuriofiSy Tom. iv. pag . 47, 
48.) to whom I am indebted for this Account, and it 
appears plainly by the Figure of it, that it is an Ele- 
phant’s Tooth. It weighed four Pounds three Ounces 
Nuremberg Weight.
