parifon might be made with eafe, I have added three 
fmilar drawings, taken from the larged; of the two 
full-grown Elephants jaws which were in my bro- 
ther’s collection ; executed with the fame care, by 
the fame artiffc ; and drawn to the fame fcale, nine

Tab. IV. Fig. I. An outfide view of the half of 
the lower jaw of the American incognitum , which 
the Earl of Shelburne depofited in the Britifli Mu-

extremity, the bone meafured, in a Freight line, 
thirty five inches : the balls alone, in a Freight line, 
two feet and four inches. 
Fig. II. The fame view of the fame bone in a 
full-grown Elephant, drawn to the fame fcale.

Fig. III. A view of the infide of the fame jaw-bone

Fig. IV. A view of the inf de of the fame jaw-bone

Fig. VI. The fame view of the Elephant’s jaw- 
bone. 
It may now be fairly prefumed that the American 
bones are proved to be certainly not elephantine :
