THE DINOTHERIUM. 
This huge creature was probably a progenitor of the modern elephant. The huge lower jaws, which were nearly tour feet long,f{were provided with tusks which curved downwards. 
It is difficult to determine the reason for this exception to the general rule for the tendency of tusks to be upward. Possibly Nature was only folding them down because they were no 
longer wanted.
