sorts, common hair and bristles, and of each there are several varieties, differing 
in length and thickness. That remaining fixed on the skin is of the colour of 
the camel, an inch and an half long, very thick-set, and curled in locks It is 
interspersed with a few bristles, about three inches long, of a dark reddish 
colour. 
Among the separate parcels of hair are some rather redder than the 
shprt hair just mentioned, about four inches long, and some bristles nearly black, 
much thicker than horse hair, and from 12 to 18 inches long. 
The skin when first brought to the Museum was offensive. It is now 
quite dry and hard, and where most compact is half an inch thick. Its colour is 
the dull black of the living Elephants.
