recently enriched by a unique specimen of the extinct mammoth from the Siberian tundra. The discovery is less significant than the specimen itself, for it is well known that the mammoth ranged over almost the whole of Europe immediately after the Ago. of Ice, and lingered down to the later days of Palmolithic Man, as we can ascertain from sketches of it engraved, in one case at least on its own ivory, by contemporary artists. It has also been already found in the flesh at more than one locality in
Siberia. In his learned volume entitled "The Mammoth and the Flood,' Sir H. Howorth has collected a number of in- stanoca of such discoveries from the

exact posture in which it stood in the ice, frozen sand, and gravel in which it had been preserved. That posture is of un- usual interest, for different opinions have been advanced as to the exact cause of the death of these large quadrupeds. Their bones, at any rate, are numerous enough in Siberia, and they are often found much farther North than the present limit of forests; it has been suggested, Therefore, that they met their death further South and were swopt down to a muddy and frozen grave by flooded rivers. Sir H. Howorth, following the earlier school of geologists, maintains that they, together with some other large quadrupeds and Paleolithic man, perished in an extensive delige, the tradition of which was preserv ed i that of the Noschian Flood.

It is proposed to erect the mo- nument in close proximity to the Poly. technic. Here, for inany years, he devoted himself in the interests of all that conduced to the social, educational, and religious welfare of the young men and women of London, and here, in the very midst of all his work, he died on January 17, 1903.
