through the kindness of Mr.. Hull, up

Among these was fragment Of tooth.
which proved the owner of the huge
bones to have been an elephant. The
bones were so far decayed that they
crumbled to dust as soon as the dust
was removed from them otherwise the
entire skeleton Of the elephant might
have been secured. may remark in
this connection that I have received
from Luther Irish, Esq, of Sextonville

circumstances. These discoveries ar,
replete with interest, as furnishing da
