XLVII. Sequel to the foregoing Account of 
the large Foffil "Teeth . By P. Collinfon,

elephants teeth from Africa and Afia. 
But as the biting or grinding teeth, found with 
the others, have no affinity with the molares of the 
elephant, I muff conclude, that they, with the long 
teeth, belong to another fpecies of elephant, not yet
