respondent Of the Syracuse Journal says:
The bones of the Mastodon e1humed at
Cohoes lie in state at the Geological Rooms.
The bones, which were very brittle, when for
a time exposed to air, have been boiled IN
clue, and are now as endurabe as any other
bones. Search is still going on for the want
inc parts of the skeleton; but even If they
are not found, by the aid Of few counterfeit
duplicates, the g animle' % will yet be put in
standing condition, ten and half feet high,
and fifteen feet long. Prof. Hall tells me that
it will be nearly year before it is accomplished.
The Professor thinks it impossible that 1t
should have belonged to the elephantine ge-
ms. if for no other reason, because his teeth
bear no resemblance to those of the elephant.
I asked Professor Hall how long ago, IN his
opinion. this animal existed. ''From ten to
thirty thousand years" his reply prob.
ABLY about twenty-five thousand He says
the Hudson has made all its channel since tina
day, and that then through this valley very
