UiANT OF THE VA£ MAMMOTH REMAINS. Under the direction of the officials of th e British Museum excavations are being made on Government iand near Upnor, Catham, with the object of mammoth, which had by chanc e been partially exposed during scue digging operations there. Dr Andrews, who is in charge of the museum staff, has yet to determine whether the bones blong to the mammoth or the elephas antiquas. The teeth alone will furnish the necessary evidence upon this point, and the portion cf earth where the skull lies embedded has not yet been delved in except so far as to disclose the presence of a utsck measuring some 9 feet in. length.

The remains were discovered in quite an accidental manner by men who were digging on the slope. "W e have had isolated bones of the species in England before," said Dr Andrews, as he stood in his shirt sleeves superintending the work of his assistants, "but never associated to the extent that these are. Indications up to the present point to the creature having stood over 13 feet high, and if it is a mammoth it will be one of th ft biggest ever found. In excavating the bones the greatest care nas to be exercised, and as each. is uncovered it is cased in plaster of Paris and removed to a bui'ding near by. The man responsible for this part of the work is a socialist from the museum, and with "him are two labourers, on P cf whom told me that it had -squired four to. li f4 " Cf> me of the bones, such as the shouMer-blade, ti to a truck. It is rather remarkable that the should have remained so undiscovered. n s fltjeiu'* <m the* h'H i=? and th-> constructors ->f p lieh+ railway passed wiK->>, a °63t of the spot in their '-curse.
