CHATHAM'S GREAT
ELEPHANT.
DGKUNG UP A MOXSTER PASHË
An almost entire fossil elephant of or moms size is now being excavated in the grounds of the Royal School of Military En- gineering at Upnor, rear Chatham,
It was discovered during some trenching work in gravel some time before the war bogan.
The elephant belongs to a species known as Elephas antiquus of the early Pleistocene epoch, and is much larger than the Maminoth. In geological age the Elephas antiquus occurs earlier than the Mammoth, and although perhaps at one time contemporary, it died out sooner, and is thought by some to have been a direct ancestor of the Mammoth.
It
believed to have been a more southern form, and enjoyed a milder climate than the Mammoth, which was covered with shaggy red hair, as we know from several entire bodies which have been found in the frozen gravels of Northern Siberia.
The present specimen is being carefully disinterred by Dr. C. W. Andrews, FRS, one of the officers of the Geological Depart ment of the British Museum, the scientist who discovered in Egypt, a series of early elephantine skeletons linking up the modern elephants with lilliputian formn which had been found in Fayoum, Egypt-an important work in the history of the evolutionary theory.

They will have to be finally hardened with a solution of gine or shellac and alcohol. This process is being carried out by one of the museum's "propacafors," Mr. L. E.
