IV.—Note on the Molar Tooth of an Elephant from the Bed of the Nile, near Khartum
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In sinking the caissons for the construction of the bridge over the Blue Nile near Khartum, a considerable number of bones have been found, from time to time, in the alluvial beds, at depths of 60–68 feet below the level of low Nile. These specimens were obtained by Messrs. Hinckley, Stephen, and Le Bailly, and are now deposited in the collection of the Geological Survey of the Sudan at Khartum.
