HlPPOPOTAMUS IN ENGLAND.
Beast Has Been Dead 10000 Years.
So Don't Worry.


What are stated. on the authority of
Mr.. Henry Dewey. of the geological sur
Ney, and the officials of the British Mu-
scum, to be the remains of the head of a
Eippopotamus and two pieces of an ivory
tusk, probably that OF "A mammoth have
been discovered on the estate of the Cane
Hill Asylum at Cousdon, in Surrey.
There are several considerable frag-
ments of the head of the hippopotamus
which include portions of the Jaw with
teeth in position, the articulation of the
iawbones, two of the larger teeth. ana
some of the vertebrae, and there are also
number of small parts of bone which
so far it has not been possible to piece
together.
Discoveries of this nature are not un-
usual, though the remains, as d rule, are
not in a good state of preserVation
About 10 years ago the skull and some
bones of hippopotamus were found
near Kew bridge. a little later, I'm a
brick pit at llford. a number of remains
OF the nleistoeene period We're uncovered
including those of a mammoth cave beal.
and woolly rhinoceros. When digging
Tor the foundations of the new admiralty
buildings the bones of animals belonging
TO the same period We're found But most
Of these latter relics were in such a state
that it was difficult to say to what species
they belonged.
The most important find of this de-
scription in recent years was made nearly
10 years ago-in July, I9G3-in the course
OF excavations between Whitefriars street
and Salisbury square. Bones of several
extinct dninils We're unearthcd These
included a very fine skull of the woolly
rhinoeeros. together with part of its
lower Jaw and portions of the limb bones
The specimens We're presented to the Ma
tural History Museum, where they are
now exhibited
The continuation of these excavations
led to the discovery of further remains
bones of the rhinoceros, the mammoth
the reindeer. the horse, and the great ex-
tinct OK. The woolly rhinoceros is repre-
scented by beautifully complete skull OF
a young animal, in which were still the
milk teeth. Curiously enough, the sec
ond half of the lower jaw of the rhinoce-
fos whose skull was found in 1903 was also
discovered, and the two are now reunited
The remains We're all entombed in mud
deposited in the valley Of the ancient
Thames. or perhaps more probably of
some small tributary or backwater Vari-
Gus estimates of the time which has
elapsed since these animals lived in the
Thames valley have been made aud 1t is
probably more than 10000 years. At that
lime the North Sea was a big bay. into
which the Thames and the, Rhine flowed
into common estuary, and there We're
no Straits of Dover. The climate must
have been a cold one, for the woolly
rhinoceros and the mammoth We're both
thickly clothed with wool and hair. and
the presence of reindeer, which is essen

a further proof.-London Chronicle.
