ROAMEn THE TEXAS PLAINS
Elephants Of Gigantic elxs Once Had
Their Habitat In That State. Mil
lions OF Years Age.

Positive proof that elephants Of 81
gantic size. with bodies probably COW
cred with long hair, once roamed the
coastal plains of Texas, has just been
obtained by the unearthing of the skel-
eton Of one Of these prehistoric ami
mails at San Leon. The period OF
its life dates back anywhere from one
half million to seven million years. ac-
cording to III. @ Chandler. assistant
professor Of biology in Rice institute
Of Houston, who assisted In removing
the remains Of the elephant from the
hard bed Of sand and gravel where II
reposed through the centuries.
1t will take some time to recon
struct the bones and form the skeleton
as itsOriginally existed and until this
Is done measurements cannot be accu-
rutely taken. The fact, however, that
the two tusks which were removed
from the sand and gravel bed are each
more than IL feet long indicates the
great size Of the pachyderm. The
skeleton was discovered by q. T. Roy
OF Houston who called Mr.. Chandler
to his assistance In unearthing 1t. Ira
speaking o: the discovery Mr. Chand-
Ter said:
This particular species Of elephant
was common In North America In the
early and middle portions Of the age
In the geological history Of the wOrld
which Is known as the pleistocene. In
the latter part Of the pleistocene Pc
Rod it had already become extinct.
'There are 20 known records Of the
occurrence OF the imperial ele-
plant in Texas, one being In Mata-
gorda county. This species Of ele-
plant was typically q plains animal,
apparently stunning forest regions
and occurring only west Of the Mis-
sissippi river.
1.-THE imperial elephant is the
largest known species Of elephant that
ever lived on earth. Full-grown gpeci-
mems reach height Of 1914 feet, while
modern elephants seldom exceed IL
feet In height. 1t is probable that
the imperial elephant, like the mann
moth and the Columbian elephant, was
clothed with long hair, for during the
pleistocene period the winters were
severe over most Of the regions which
e inhabited"
