From several fragments of bones which I met with in the Essex bank, 
I was also led to suppose that the remains of some other very large 
animal, besides those of the elephant and elk, had been here imbedded. 
This supposition was increased by finding one large fragment, a com- 
plete mass of pyrites, with the form and external surface of bone, 
which appeared to be the upper end of an os femoris ; but which, 
either from distortion, or from very uncommon, though natural con- 
formation, differed from that of any animal with whose skeleton I was 
acquainted. This induced me to be more particular in my research, 
and occasioned me to discover the tooth which is represented Plate XXI. 
Fig. 2. This tooth, which is an upper molar tooth of the left side, is 
pretty much worn, and must have belonged to a small animal, since it is 
not one half of the size of the teeth which were found at Chartham. 
My friend, Mr. Fisher, whose kindness I have already had occasion 
to acknowledge, was so obliging as to procure for me five teeth, which 
had been found at Fox-hill, in Gloucestershire, with some fragments 
of bones. The fragments of bones were too small to allow of any de- 
cision respecting them. One of the teeth was of the elephant ; and 
the other four were molar teeth of the upper jaw of the rhinoceros, 
and had suffered a very considerable degree of decomposition. Their 
size was more than double that of the tooth depicted above ; but their 
grinding surfaces had suffered very considerable injury. 
The horns of the rhinoceros have been repeatedly dug up in Siberia, 
and of a considerable size, some exceeding in size those of the living 
species. 
Hollman and Zuckert had fossil fragments of the humerus of this 
animal, from which it appeared, that the obliquity of the radial pulley- 
like termination, which in the living species is very considerable, is 
exceeded in the fossil ; and, that the inferior head is longer. On com- 
parison with the humerus of the Parisian skeleton, it appeared that 
the fossil humerus, though shorter, was thicker. 
A scapula, apparently of this animal, found at the foot of the Hartz,
