Abstract/NotesIn a previous paper we have considered some of the legends which are current among the Nomades of Siberia about the Mammoth, and which were the outcome of the curious fact that whole carcases of the animal have been discovered intact and with their soft parts and external shape preserved. This fact has not only been fruitful in romance among the inhabitants of the Tundras, and among those who are attracted by strange and unusual occurrences among more civilized people, but is in itself the key to a great deal of difficulty in understanding the later changes that have occurred in the northern hemisphere.
