Note 17 — Chapter XXIII · GEOGRAPHICAL
Reading edition
The Miocene deposits are found in the valleys, e.g. in those of the Frat (Western Euphrates) and Araxes.
An interesting fact has been brought to my notice by Mr. F. Oswald, my friend and companion during my last journey. There may be seen in the Tiflis Museum the remains of a mammoth which was discovered in the lacustrine deposits of the Alexandropol district. Similar remains had already been found in deposits of similar character and age in the neighbourhood of Khinis by Colonel J. Shiel. These are in the British Museum, where they have been christened Elephas armeniacus. ↑
