[Correipondcr.cc New York Herald.] Tno?, Novombor 11.?Tho scicntiflo world is quite blioly to be thoroughly nronsod by tbo recont dis coveries in the domain of natural hi?tory at Co hoea, tho nirainfacturing vdlago immodiatoly ad jacent to this city. During tho process of an ex cavation some wecke sinco, on tho sito of a mill to bo newly erected, a mammoth jaw bono was found about one hundred feet from tbo banks of the Mo hawk Ilivor, embedded at a distanco of sixty-five feet below tbo surface of the oarth, and boing taken up at once, excited tho attention of the na turabsta not only of this vicinity, but likewise far and wide. The length of tho jaw was thirty-two inches, twenty inches in width, and weigbod some what moro than forty-six pounds. On Thursday last the remains of a complote skolcton of a huge mastodon wore discovered eighteen feet further down in the samo excavation, and tho attendant naturalists of Yale and Union Colleges and tho Renssalaor Polytechnic Institute of this city, aro fully confirmed in tho opinion that tho framo can be mado quito perfect. The remains havo been carefully gathered together in tbe mill of tho Harmony Company, cleaned and oiled, and it is expected that tlioy will bo viewed and pro nounced upon during the coming week by Profes sor l/oiii? AgasBiz, tho learned naturalist and savant of Harvard University. The jaw of the mastodon is four foot nino inches in length from the mouth to the cranium, to which a portion ol the back bone and jaw are still connocilod. The cranium risos very like that of an elephant. The two tusks each measure eight feet in longtb, anc their true position is well marked on the uppo: jaw. The hip bono is fivo feet long and weighs oni hundred pounds, whilo the shoulder bladei moaBuro ten feet nino inches, and woiifh about lift? pounds each. The under jaw already alluded to at having boon found nomo weeks since, precisely fits tbe upper jaw now exhumed, and the ribs ari found to bo four foot and a half in length, and, ai before stated, the fossibstB aro of tbe opinion tha tho comp etcd frame will form a most essontial am grave contribution to tho science of natural bis tory. The measurements Bhow that tho animal mue havo stood at least fifteen feet in height, and havi been a little upwards of twenty feet in longtb independent of tho tusks already stated to be oacl eight feet in longtb. Professor Marsh, of the Yali Collcgo Scientific School, gives it as his wol grounded opinion that the romains discovered ari those of a great North American Mastodon, com Soring in a? its parts fully with tho description o ie animal given in tho scientific works, as fol lows :?"The animal has tbo vaulted and cellula skull of tho elephant, with largo tusks in tbe uppe jaw, and heavy form. From tho character of th< naBal bones, and tho shortness of the head am neck, it has been concluded it bad a trunk." Whenever similar remains havo boon discovorci on this continent, tho fact has never failed t< awaken tho deepest interest, not only in this coun try, but in Europe. Fragments were first diBcov ered as early as tho year 1705, and in 1801 the firs comparatively complete skolcton of a maetodo was found somewhere in Oraugo county, I am told and immediately transported to London, roturne and kept on exhibition in Philadelphia for som years. Dr. Warren, of Harvard College, is said t be in posHosBion of a largo part of another frame and in 1815 it is stated that a largo and valuabl collection of mastodon bones wore found on th banks of the Mississippi Hiver, and having bee wired together, were exhibited throughout th country and in London as the groat MissoBOnriun Harvard University is also in possession of a mai todon skeleton, independent of that bolonging t Dr. Warren, and it is alleged that specimens of th primeval species havo boon found in sovcral of tb States, but in no instanco anything liko-as perfei as tho ono now developed at Conocs. Sciontifi investigations upon this controverted subject ha\ been widely extended and marked by great indu try. and, us this event shows, they havo been chi raoteriacd by much success and truthfulness. One author says: "The food of the maatodc was entirely vegetable, as is proved by tho romaii of twig? of coniferous trocs and other vegetab matter found between tbo ribs; and tho anbn was doubtless fond of resorting to marshy i hoggy places, in search of succulent plants, who it was often mirod in tho very places where its r mains havo boon extracted during tho ninoteen century." Anothor writer remarks: ' The ge logical position of tho romains of this spoci (niasludon) has long been, and still is, a subje of dispute among geologists. In a few instanc tboy are 8aid to bave been found below tho dri in tin pliocene, and even in tho mioceno; bnt th havo generally been obtained from the post pli cene or alluvial formations nt a depth of five ten lett. in lacustral deposit, bogs and bed?? of i futjoinil earth. Some havo thought that tho mi todons became extinct since tho advent of man tho earth. According to Lycll, the. period of thoir dostn tion, though geologically mod rn, must have be many tltouBaud yearB ago. Tbo name causes pj bably acted in thoir extinction as in the caso oft fossil elephant. jierhaps partly climatio chant or, more probably, some groat convulsion on t Burface oi the globo at an epoch anterior to mi dinguished natural historian says: "Ono v.. -p..v?^?, war mo unio, wnenco ?nc inastoc has boon called 'tho animal of the Ohio.* Nono the remauiB havo tho appearance of having b< roiien, but seem to havo bean unmoved Binco i doathortho animal; and it is worthy of romi that thoBo which wcro found at tho rivor of Great Osagc, which runs into tho Missouri a lil abovo its eoidlnenco with tho MUeissippi, won a\ertical position, as if the animals had b< bogged or buried in tho soil." Parkinson, in his Organic Remains, adds : "1 country in -which these romains (moutodons) found, is liko an immoiiBO plain, bordered on ov StUb>:'nounlilu'8?
