Perhaps the most Interesting and re ninrknhle find of all. writes Mr. Ver- rill, was a larce sculptured stoue flit-' ore tliorouijlily elephnntlne In form and detail. Hitherto the ro-callcd VlephiiMs" found In prehistoric (and modem) American ceramics and stone work have been generally accepted as conventionalised anthears or tapirs with exaggerated snouts. Hut In this case It Is scarcely possible to account for the creature on this tivpothesis. Not only la the body elephantine, but the large leaf like ears Could belong to no other known creature, while the hind knees bend forward, a character i . peculiar to the elephant. It Is difficult to believe that any man unfamiliar wlih the elephant could have conven tionalized a tapir or an anthear to the extent of adding broad ro-haped ear and less bending forward, while, as final touch, the creature Is repre. penini carrying a mail or uurdt-n up"0 Its back.
