Abstract

THE Times correspondent reports the discovery of the skeleton of a mammoth, in association with flint implements, in the neighbourhood of Bapaume, within the lines of the British Army in France. We understand that the British Commander-in-Chief has communicated the fact to the French Government, and that steps have been taken to preserve the specimen until the line of battle is sufficiently far removed to allow of careful excavations being made. The deposit in which the ckeleton occurs has already yielded fragmentary remains of the mammoth.
