It is well knovvn, that on the Ohio, and in many parts of America further north, tuiks, grinders, and fkeletons of un- paralelled magnitude, are found in great numbers, fome lying on the furface of the earth, and fome a little below it. A Mr.
Stanley, taken prifoner by the Indians near the mouth of the Taniflee, relates, that after being transferred through feveral tribes, from one to another, he was at length carried over the mountains weft of the Miffouri to a river which runs weft- wardly: that thefe bones abounded there, and that the natives defcribed to him the animal to which they belonged as frill exifling in the northern parts of their coun- try; from which defcription he judged it to be an elephant. Bones of the fame kind have been lately found, fome feet be- low the furface of the earth, in faUnes opened on the North Holfton, a branch of the TanifTee, about the latitude of 364.^.
