Sentleman lias informed me that within his knowledge, the 
S<I1 U of this aniinai, with the horns a (lined to it, was found 
the depth from the surface of sixty feet, in the Porth

' attle ; they belonged to one which, from liis judgement of

j le Humerus of what appears to have been the same animal, 
. le circumference of the shaft of which measures twelve 
ln ches.
