Discovery OF the Skull of Monster Of
the Ouarternary Age.

the Ouarternary Age.
One of the rarest Of fossil remains has
been unearthed in Michigan, near the
Indiana state line. and is now in the
possession Of George \. Baker, of South
Bend, Ind. says the Cincinnati Com
mercial-tiazette. 1t is the skull of a
mammoth beaver, monster of the
quaternary age, existing contempora-
neously with the mastodon and mega
therium. In only five other instances
in the United States. and in this coun-
try alone, have any portion of the re-
mains of a mammoth beaver been
found, and these were always of the
teeth or skull, but generally of only the
teeth. The first discovery was at Nash
port, Licking county, O., by Prof. Eos.
ter. whose find, a skull, is described in
american Roenti by Prof Allen, and
east of which was taken by Prof. Agas-
siz, and the cast alone remains.
The skull possessed by MIR. Baker is
1917 inches long. is about inches wide,
and stands about ; inches high. II
has the teeth and also the great
incisors used in tree-cutting: the incis-
ors are about 9 inches long and ~
inches in diameter. 1t was found in o
