The oyster trawlers from thesingle village of Happisburg dredged from the Dogger Banks off thecoast of Norfolk, England, 2,000 molar teeth, besides tusks and othermammoth remains, between the years 1820 and 1833. This indicatesnot onl} the great profusion of the mammoths of the Pleistocene, butthe existence of comparatively recent land connection between Eng-land and the continent.
