Hoping Pardon for this Digreflion, I {hall juft beg 
Leave to obferve, that the prefent Grinder and Bones, 
however they came thither, muft have Jain in this 
Cliff for many Ages; and that the Grinder in parti- 
cular is very much larger and heavier than any our 
late worthy Preltdent Sir Hans Sloane has mentioned 
in N°. 403. and 404. of the Bhilofophical Tranf - 
actions, where he gives an Account of all the fofili 
Teeth of Elephants that had come to his Knowledge. 
I may add, that none of thofe mentioned by Mr. 
Molineux , in his Hiftory of Ireland , come near it 
in Weight or Size. Our Thigh-Bones of 6 Feet long 
exceed alfo by 2 Feet any I have ever yet heard of : 
And, according to Mr. Blair’s Ofteology of an Ele- 
phant 9 Feet high, which died at Dundee in Scot- 
land 7 in the Year 1706, and whofe Thigh-Bones 
were 3 Feet in Length {Vide Bhil. 'Tranf. N°. 327.), 
we may fuppofe, by the Rules of Proportion, that 
the Elephant, to whom our Bones and Tooth be- 
longed, was 18 Feet in Height. 
Permit me, Sir, to affure you, that I am, with the 
utmoft Refped and Sincerity, 
Tour moft obedient humble Servant ,
