- Mammoth
- Great Extinct Bul
Skull of the great extinct Bull, the Bos primigenius, or the Urus, or Aurochs. The measurement from one horn tip to the other taken round the curves, was in some cases eight feet. The Urus stood in rare instances as much as seven feet at the shoulder; a fair-sized elephant stands nine feet. - The Toxodon
The skeleton of a gigantic extinct rat-like animal - the Toxodon - from the Argentine, South America. Length from the snout to the tail, nine feet. - Prehistoric carving of the Mammoth
Incised upon a piece of mammoth ivory, are outlines of the mammoth itself. The original, rather more than nine inches in length, is at Paris in the museum of the Jardin des plantes. - Prehistoric carving
In short, the prehistoric carvings are from the hands of men who were neither beginners nor blunderers in their art. The practised skill of a modern wood engraver would scarcely exceed in firmness and decision, nor in evident rapidity of execution, the outline of the animals in the example which is here engraved. - Group of reindeer drawn upon a piece of slate
