The largest tooth weighs sixteen pounds. The species was suspected by Professor Wyman not to be the same as the European Elephas Primigenius; but he has undertaken a full investigation of the subject, and will hereafter present us with the result of his inquiries.

I cannot attempt to give an idea of the multitude and variety of fossil footprints in this collection, and still less could I display their importance in the history of the ancient world ; since they open a page of Palaeontology which has hitherto been sealed to us, where we find traces, not only of birds, but of quadrupeds, reptiles, and fishes.
