by the help of fire, like Cows horns, be reduced to any 
fhape. Whether this be naturally twifted, or by art, I will 
not determine. Terzagi in Sep alius s Mufaum mentions 
though not a Spiral, yet ftrait Tusk of an Elephant , two 
yards high, and 160 pounds in weight. 
The LEG BONE of an ELEPHANT. It was 
brought out of Syria for the Thigh-Bone of a Giant. But 
the proportion which the thicknefs bears to the length of 
the Bone, fhews it to be the Bone not of a Man, but ail 
Elephant. For the Leg-Bone is ufually about * of an inch 
over: and fo its traverfe Area contains about (4^) fquare' 
eighths of an inch. But this Bone is above four inches over, 
in the tranfver fcArea whereof therefore,are contained about 
( 1088) fquare eighths of an inch. Which number (1088) 
being divided by (45?) gives (22) for the Quotient. So 
that it is two and twenty times as thick as the Leg-Bone of 
a Man: I mean, the tranfverfe Area of the one contain- 
eth that of the other 22 times. Yet is it but three times 
as long; and therefore fhould contain the fame but about 
nine times, were it the Leg-Bone of a Man. Tis 
about a yard and i foot long, and above a foot about in 
the flendereft part. And the fhape of it, fhews it to have 
belonged to the Leg, and not the Thigh. The Elephant to 
which it did belong, might be about five yards high. 
Another L E G-B ONE of an ELEPHANT, fcarce 
fo long, but of equal thicknefs. Given by Sir Thomas 
Brown of Norwich. 
Elephants are brought into Europe out of Ceylan,Sumatra, 
Cochin , Siam, Bontam , Melinda , iSc. But they breed moff 
in the Kingdoms of Aracan and Pegu. ( a ) In the Illand of 
Ceylon , moll docile. The TEthiopians behind Mofambique 
eat them, and fell their Teeth. The Indians ufe them to 
draw, and fbip their Goods. In Winter, when it begins 
to rain, they are altogether mad and ungovernable, and fo 
continue from April to September , chain’d to fome Tree 5 
after that, they become tame and ferviceable again, (b) See

One of the GRINDERS of an ELEPHANT. 
He hath four of thefe Teeth in each Jaw, wherewith he 
grinds his meat. This here is above a foot long. But
