Tyler St Johnsburg I am in receipt of your favor of the 5th inst. regarding </u Skull of Hippopotamus >.

    I have just measured a fine large

one, with big perfect teeth, which I have on hand. It measures 2 - 3 long

                             1 - 9 high
                             1 - 7 wide.

It has its occipital </s region > condyles^ chopped off, in severing from neck when killed. It is thus worth only $30. </s If >Without this defect it were worth $40. for it is unusually large & perfect.

    </s Hippopotamus teeth > ^Elephants' tusks^ are worth $2.25 & $2.50

per lb. Hippopotamus' teeth a little up I believe Yours very truly Henry A. Ward
