to bring the creature to the light of
day. The expedition carried back
with It large quantities of earth, In
order to make the whole exhibit al

The skeleton has been mounted
separately and in a standing posture.
Only a few ribs and the right tusk are
missing. The tail proves to be de-.

The appearance of the body led
us to conclude that the beast had been

dead body must have frozen imme'
diately. for a great part of the meat
was preserved perfectly. II had a
dark, red. blood color, but the q
pOsure caused 1t to send out such an
odor that none Of us had the nerve
to taste It.
The fat was well preserved and
