PREFACE.
IT is gratifying to record the completion of Part IV. of this Cata-
logue ; for although it embraces only a single Suborder of the
Ungulata — the Proboscidea — yet the remains of this group (which
holds so distinct a position amongst the " hoofed quadrupeds ") are
represented by so large and remarkable a collection of specimens aa
to be without a rival in any Museum.
This excellence is chiefly due to the grand collections from the
Siwaliks of India, presented by Sir Proby T. Cautley (described by
Dr. Hugh Falconer) ; the series of remains of Dinotlierium and
Mastodon, from Eppelsheim, &c. (described by Dr. Kaup) ; the fine
collection of American Mastodons from the United States and from
South America ; the unrivalled British series of Mammoth-remains
from the Thames Valley Brick-earth, the Dogger-Bank, and nume-
rous other localities (described by Dr. Leith-Adams) ; and the unique
collection of Pygmy-Elephant remains from Malta (described by
Mr. George Busk, F.R.S., and Dr. Leith-Adams).
Nor are the facts relative to the almost world-wide geographical
distribution of the Proboscidea in past times devoid of interest for
the Paleontologist, coupled as they are with a singular absence of
those intermediate types which might suggest lines of connection
with the less aberrant forms of Ungulata. The present volume
seems therefore to form an important addition to our knowledge
of this most interesting group, to which the special attention of
Biologists may well be directed.

INTRODUCTION.
A. The Proboscidea.
SINCE the cheek-teeth of the Dinotheriidce do not differ in their mode
of succession from those of the Perissodactylate and Artiodactylate
suborders of the TJngulata, there can he no hesitation in employing
the same system of enumeration ; and the two premolars are accord-
ingly respectively termed pm. 3 and pm. 4, and the milk-teeth which
they replace mm. 3 and mm. 4. This heing so, it will be obvious
that the corresponding teeth of the Elephantidce must also be num-
bered in the same manner. The first cheek-tooth which normally
occurs in the Elephantidce appears to be serially homologous with
the two following teeth, and is accordingly reckoned as a milk-molar
(mm. 2), although there is apparently only one known instance of
its replacement by a premolar ] ; and hence the similarly-placed
tooth which occurs in the lower jaw of Dinotlierium 2 is also classed
with the milk-series. In the absence of any evidence to the con-
trary, the so-called preantepenultimate milk-molar, which it is be-
lieved is occasionally developed in the Elephantidce, is referred to
the milk-molar rather than to the premolar series 3. In the Dino-
theriida;, where the whole of the permanent cheek-series of teeth
is in use at the same time, and where no one tooth attains excessive
development, the tbird and fourth premolars attain the same rela-
i Infra, p. 13. a Infrh, p. 3.
3 The author is inclined to believe that the first cheek-tooth in the Perisso-
dactyla — which in Tapirus is always replaced by a vertical successor, in Rhino-
ceros is occasionally so replaced, but in Equus never has any successor, and is
frequently absent — belongs to the milk-molar rather than to the premolar

live size as in other Ungulates, and are of equal functional import-
ance ; but in the Elephantidce the tendency to the gradual increase
in relative size of the hinder cheek-teeth, and especially of the third
true molar, makes it evident that in the more specialized forms the
occurrence of successional cheek-teeth in the earlier part of the
series would be merely an encumbrance, and we accordingly find
such teeth totally absent. In some of the earlier Mastodons, how-
ever, the premolars were probably of some slight functional import-
ance ; but their relatively small dimensions indicates that immedi-
ately the elephantine type of dental succession had commenced
these teeth were practically doomed to disappear ; and it is inter-
esting to observe that while they had totally disappeared in the
simple-toothed Mastodon americanus of the Pleistocene, they still
lingered on in some of the generalized true Elephants of the Pliocene
(ElepJias clifti and E. planifrons), and thus exemplify the well-
known fact that a much longer period is frequently required to
eradicate functionally useless parts of the organism than to develop
other parts to a comparatively high degree of specialization. This
complete disappearance of the whole of the premolar and the reten-
tion of the milk- molar dentition is a feature quite peculiar to the
Elephantidce, although, if the writer's interpretation be correct, a
similar instance occurs in respect of the first cheek-tooth of the
Perissodactyla.
The specialization of the cheek-teeth in the higher members of
the Proboscidea has followed to a considerable extent a line analo-
gous to that obtaining in the Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla, and
shows itself in the increased height and complexity of the crowns
of these teeth, and in the final attainment of a nearly horizontal
and continuous plane of wear. From the structure of the cheek-
teeth in the more generalized members of the suborder, it may be
inferred that the action of the molars of one jaw upon those of the
other must have been mainly a scissor-like or snapping one, while
in the more specialized forms this action has been converted into a
perfect grinding motion.
The collection of Proboscidean remains recorded in the following
pages is probably by far the largest in the world, and since it con-
tains specimens belonging to nearly all the more important species,
it is admirably adapted to exhibit the almost complete transition in
respect of the structure of the cheek-teeth, which can be traced from
the most generalized to the most specialized member of the Elephan-
tidce. So complete indeed is this transition (as will be indicated in
INTRODUCTION. IX
the sequel), that not only is there no real line of demarcation between
Mastodon and Elephas, but several of the species of the two genera
seem to pass so imperceptibly into one another, that it is not un-
frequently a matter of extreme difficulty (if, indeed, it be not an
absolute impossibility) to determine to which species individual
teeth really belong. This difficulty is considerably enhanced by the
peculiar nature of the dental succession of the Elephantidcv, in which
only a moiety of the dental series is ever seen in any one fossil
individual ; and we have accordingly to' rely only on their general
fades in referring individual teeth to their respective species. In
cases, therefore, where two or more closely allied forms occur in the
same formation, it will be obvious that such determinations must not
unfrequently be more or less provisional and subject to future revi-
sion1. The Indian Mastodons present especial difficulty in this respect;
and I have found it advisable, after much hesitation, to apply specific
names to no less than three trilophodont and five tetralophodont
forms, some of which have a very restricted distribution. In regard
also to the serial position of individual teeth, there must likewise
in many cases be a considerable element of doubt, more especially in
those instances where a species is liable to great variation in point
of size ; thus it is often difficult to say whether a tooth is the last
milk-molar of a large individual or the first true molar of a smaller
one, or whether a larger tooth should be regarded as a first or a
second true molar. In this respect therefore some of the following
determinations must also be considered more or less provisional.
These two points of uncertainty are, however, not of very great
import, and do not in the least interfere with the symmetry of the
series from the generalized to the specialized ; and at the most they
indicate either that an individual specimen should be referred one
degree higher or lower either in the specific series or in the dental
series of a particular species.
Although the object of the present Catalogue is only to record
species represented in the Museum Collection, yet in this instance,
where we have only to deal with a restricted group containing a
comparatively small number of species, it has been thought advis-
able to give a list of all the described forms together with their
distribution. The following list, which is exclusive of synonymy,
comprises all the well-authenticated species of which the writer
can find any record ; those species of which he has seen no

descriptions and figures of some of the American forms are required
before their right to specific distinction can be regarded as certain,

The most remarkable point in regard to the vertical distribution
of the Proboscidea is their apparently sudden appearance in the
Middle Miocene of Europe, where they are represented by Dino-
therium giganteum and Mastodon angustidens. Although the former
is evidently a generalized form connecting the Elephantidce with

the less aberrant Ungulates, yet it cannot be regarded as the direct
ancestor of any known member of that family ; and the latter is to
all intents and purposes a perfect Elephant, in the widest sense of
that term. Our comparatively full knowledge of the Lower-Miocene
and Upper- Eocene Mammalian faunas of the greater part of Europe
and North America (where the Proboscidea are unknown till the
Pliocene) renders it almost certain that neither of those regions
was the home of the direct ancestors of the Elephantidce ; and we
must therefore look forward to the discovery of mammaliferous
Lower-Miocene or Upper -Eocene strata in some other region of the
(probably Old) World, which may yield these missing forms. There
is, however, but little chance of the occurrence of such beds in India,
and our main hope must therefore be directed to other parts of Asia,
or Africa, if indeed these regions were ever populated in early
Tertiary times by the larger Mammalia.
In regard to geographical distribution there appears to be con-
siderable evidence in favour of an easterly migration of the Masto-
dons having taken place from Europe to India ' ; while the restriction
of the stegodont group of Elephants to the latter country and the
regions to the eastward, points to the conclusion that the transition
from the Mastodons to the higher Elephants took place in those
regions ; from which we may also infer that there subsequently
ensued a westerly migration of these higher forms to Europe, and
finally on to North America, where the true Elephants did not make
their appearance till the Pleistocene, and then appear to have been
represented only by two species, one of which ranged over the
greater part of the higher latitudes of the northern hemisphere.
B. Geological Horizons.
The quotation in the present and the two previous Parts of many
mammaliferous localities not mentioned in the table of strata given
on pp. x, xi of the first Part, renders it advisable to give a fuller
list of European Tertiary horizons. The following table differs from
the one above referred to by the inclusion of the Eppelsheim beds
in the Lower Pliocene instead of in the Upper Miocene, the writer
being now convinced that this view, which is adopted by nearly all
English and German paleontologists, is the correct one2.
1 See ' Pakeontologia Indica' (Mem. Qeol. Surv. India), ser. 10, vol. iii.
pp. 17, 18.
2 The beds of Mont Leberon and Cucuron in Vaucluse are included in the
Lower Pliocene, both on account of the similarity of their fauna to that of the
Pikermi beds, and also because they overlie marine beds correlated with the
XIV INTRODUCTION.
As a compromise, which has the convenience of avoiding the
necessity of abolishing the term Middle Miocene1, which has become
almost a classic one through the labours of the French palaeontolo-
gists, the term Upper Miocene may be retained for the (Eningen or
higher beds of the Upper Swiss freshwater molasse2, which connect
the Eppelsheim beds with the typical Middle Miocene of France, and
are placed by some geologists in the Miocene3, and by others4 at
the base of the Pliocene with the Eppelsheim beds. The lower beds
of the upper Swiss molasse (Kapfnach, Elgg, &c.), which were in-
cluded by Heer in his (Eningen stage, appear to correspond to the
French Middle Miocene. The Conger ian stage of the Vienna Basin
is included in the Lower Pliocene, while the Sarmatian and Mediter-
ranean (Leithakalk) stages of the same region are mainly classed with
the upper part of the Middle Miocene ; the Upper Sarmatian stage
probably, however, corresponds in part with the (Eningen beds,
while the Mediterranean stage probably contains representatives of
group B. It is, however, necessary to mention that the classification
adopted is to a considerable extent a faunal one, and that, owing to
regional distribution, the fauna of one group may in some instances
be contemporaneous with that of another group. This appears to
be the case with the mammals of Pikermi, which have been shown
by Fuchs5 to occur in a comparatively high Pliocene horizon, and
in reality, therefore, were probably contemporaries of the more
advanced fauna of other parts of Europe, but our knowledge is at
present insufficient to indicate the relations of the fauna of some
of the other deposits placed in the same group. A well-known
Tortonian stage (Gaudry, ' Animaux Fossiles et Geologie du Mont Leberon,'
p. 106), which is the equivalent of the Pliocene Congerian (Inzersdorf and
Belvedere) stage of the Vienna Basin (see Oredner, ' Elemente der Geologie,'
5th ed. p. 707). Some English geologists (Geikie and Duncan) retain, how-
ever, the Vaucluse beds in the tipper Miocene. The Concud beds of Spain, and
those of Baltavar in Hungary, as well as those of Maragha in Persia, are placed
in the same group with the Pikermi beds solely on account of the similarity of
their Mammalian fauna.
1 If the term Upper Miocene were adopted for these beds, it would probably
lead to confusion, as it would not correspond with the Upper Miocene of the
French geologists.
2 The beds at Cerdagne (Pyren^es-Orientales) are probably approximately
equivalent.

instance of such regional distribution occurs in the mammalian
faunas of Pleistocene Europe and modern Africa, both of which,
if found in a fossil condition, would almost certainly be placed on
the same geological horizon1, and it is pretty certain that there
must be many analogous examples lower down in the geological
scale.
In the third column of the new table the divisions of the Oligo-
cene are given as now generally accepted by English writers. The
reasons why these divisions are not adopted in the present work are,
first, that it is at present almost impossible to classify the Ame-
rican Tertiaries so as to make them harmonize with this triple
division ; secondly, that geologists are not all agreed as to the limits
of the term Oligocene 2 ; and, thirdly, that the writer has desired, as
far as possible, to make the geological classification employed in this
work agree with that adopted by Professor Flower in the ' Catalogue
of the Vertebrata in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons,'
part ii. Mammalia (1884).

The Maragha beds of North-west Persia may be placed in the
same group as the Pikermi beds. The Maltese beds are probably
in part Middle, and in part Lower Miocene (Oligocene). The
Bridger group of North America appears to be Middle, and the
Wasatch Lower Eocene. The Lower Siwaliks of Sind may be
Upper Miocene.
In conclusion, I have again to express my obligation to those
gentlemen who have kindly favoured me with the loan of wood-
blocks, and to add to the list mentioned in the preceding Parts the
name of Dr. J. E. Taylor, of the Ipswich Museum. I have also to
offer my thanks to Mr. H. B. Medlicott, Director of the Geological
Survey of India, for sending home several specimens of Indian
Mastodon-teeth from the Calcutta Museum, which have enabled me
to amend some of my previous identifications. Plaster models of
these important specimens have been made by the Museum Forma-
tore and added to the Collection. Mr. "W. Davies has again been
good enough to verify the description and number of each specimen ;
and it is in many instances solely due to his intimate acquaintance
with individual specimens that it has been possible to record the
history of their acquisition.
The Dixon Collection, which is mentioned for the first time in this
Part, was purchased in 1853 from Mr. F. Dixon, of "Worthing, and
mainly comprises specimens from the south of England.

In the carpus the scaphoid is supported by the trapezoid, but not
by the magnum, the latter supporting the lunar ; while in the tarsus
the cuboid articulates proximally with the distal face of the navi-
cular, but not with the astragalus. In both the carpus and tarsus
the component bones interlock but very slightly, the type of struc-
ture of the tarsus being one step in advance of that obtaining in
the Condylarthra \ The feet are plantigrade ; there are five digits
to each foot ; the astragalus is flat ; the femur has no third tro-
chanter ; the fibula articulates with the calcaneum ; and the jugal
forms the middle of the zygomatic arch. The brain is of large size ;
canines appear to be always absent ; while incisors are present
either in the upper or lower jaws of the males of all the forms at
present known 2. The cheek-teeth3 may attain extreme complexity ;
and the true molars always consist of transverse ridges, which may
vary greatly in height, and may be either uninterrupted, or split,
up into inner and outer columns, which may have a more or less

in the last milk- and the first true molars ; and the intervening
valleys may he either entirely open, or blocked by accessory tubercles,
or completely filled with cement l.
Family DINOTHERIID.E.
All the teeth of the permanent series are in use at the same time,
the premolars succeeding the milk-molars in the normal manner.
In the one known genus none of the cheek-teeth have cement, or
carry more than three ridges : in the true molars these ridges are
continuous and the valleys open ; but in the upper premolars the
former are more or less interrupted, and are connected by a longi-
tudinal external ridge, a similar submedian ridge occurring in the
lower premolars. This lophodont structure of the premolars is a
character connecting Dinotlierium with the Perissodactyla, and is not
improbably evidence of their original community of descent. In
section the incisors do not present decussating stria?. The upper
cheek-teeth of Dinothenum giganteum are figured in the accom-
panj-ing woodcut.

Although there is a great variation in the size of the specimens
included under this specific head, yet the transition from one to the
other is so gradual that they cannot apparently be specifically
distinguished 9. It must, however, be borne in mind that the
simple structure of the teeth admits of but scarcely any modification,
and therefore that there is a possibility of these variations in size really
indicating the existence of more than one European species.
Hob, Europe. The species ranges in time from the Middle Mio-
cene of France to the Lower Pliocene of Pikermi and the Vienna
basin (Congerian stage) ; and has a very wide range in space, having
been recorded from Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, Austria-
Hungary, Greece, Styria, and Eussia 10.

Since the difference in size between!), indicum and D. pentapotamice
is not greater than the variation obtaining in the forms included
under the head of D. giganteum, the two are provisionally classed
together. Both have been identified by Weinsheimer4 with the
European species ; but there appear to be slight differences5 in the
teeth, which may be of specific value. Thus pm. 3 and pm. 3 do not
agree exactly with those of the latter species, while in the mandible
(' Palasontologia Indica,' ser. 10, vol. i. pis. xxix., xxx.) the low
longitudinal bridge connecting the transverse ridges of the true
molars is relatively more developed, so that the worn first and
second ridges of m. 1 are connected by a bridge of dentine before
those of pm. 4 are so connected, while the dentition islet of the
third ridge of mTl is of a regular elliptic form. One specimen
seems, moreover, to indicate a characteristic difference in the form
of the incisors 6.

The opportunity of comparing the figures of the Indian specimens given in
the ' Palaeontologia Indica,' op. cit., with the European ones, has shown the
writer that many of the differences there indicated are not of more than indi-
vidual value.
6 Falconer (see ' Palseontological Memoirs,' vol. i. p. 408) observes : — " In
corroboration of this view [i. e. the specific distinctness of the Indian Linothe-
rium\ it deserves to be stated that, of the numerous Proboscidea discovered in
India, we have found that all the forms are specifically distinct from those
which occur in Europe." The subsequent discovery of M. angustidens on the
north-west frontier is hardly an exception to this generalization.

Calcutta (Nos. A 1, A 21). The original of this specimen
is figured by the present writer in the ' Palaeontologia
Indica,' ser. 10, vol. i. pi. ix. fig. 1. It agrees in size
with pm. 3 of D. giganteum (No. 1749); but differs from
that and the other homologous teeth by the almost
total absence of the ridge connecting the antero-internal
column with the outer wall and by the form of the

Family ELEPHANTID.E.
The teeth of the milk- and true molar series succeed one another
in a horizontal direction, and, at the most, there are never more than
portions of three such teeth in use at the same time. Milk-molars
are always present, and are usually three in number; but it is
probable that a fourth (mm. 1) is occasionally developed. Premolars
may be absent or present ; when present there are usually two on
either side of each jaw, but in the North- American Mastodon
productus1 there appear to be three such teeth. There are never less
than three ridges in mm. 4, m. 1, and m. 22; and m. 3 always has
one or more ridges in excess of m. 2. The cheek-teeth may have but
few low transverse ridges with open valleys, or these ridges may be
divided into columns having a somewhat alternate arrangement, or
they may be very numerous and developed into tall thin plates, with
the intervening spaces entirely filled with similar plates of cement
A median longitudinal cleft is present in the cheek-teeth of the less
specialized forms. The upper cheek-teeth are always convex antero-

posteriorly, while the lower are concave. Incisors are always present
in the upper jaw, and may or may not be present in the mandible ;
in section, their dentine displays decussating striaj.
Genus MASTODON, Cuvier*.
Including: — Trilophodon and Tetralophodon, Falconer8.
Dibelodon and Tetrabelodon, Cope 3.
Dentition:-!. ^ C. jj, Mm. |, Pm. ^ M. J. The upper
incisors are large, and may have longitudinal bands of enamel. The
lower incisors (when present) vary considerably in size, and are
always smaller than the upper. The cheek-teeth carry transverse
ridges, which may be entire or may be divided into distinct inner
and outer columns with a more or less alternate arrangement ; out-
lying tubercles may be present in the intervening valleys, which are
frequently entirely devoid of cement, and are never entirely filled by
it. The " intermediate " molars usually have an isomerous ridge-
formula, the number of ridges varying from three to five. The
ridges are always bisected by a median cleft traversing the long axis
of the crown ; and the plane of wear of the crowns of the teeth is
oblique, that of the upper jaw inclining from the outer to the inner
side, and the reverse obtaining in the lower. Three cheek-teeth
may be in use at the same time. Premolars may or may not be
present ; and the crowns of the lower cheek-teeth are taller and
narrower than those of the upper. The cranium is usually less
elevated than in Elephas, and the mandibular symphysis may be
very long.
The line of specialization in the dentition consists in the shortening
of the mandibular symphysis and disappearance of the lower incisorg,
in the disappearance of the premolars, in the increase in the absolute
size and relative width of the cheek-teeth, and in the number and
height of their ridges, and the amount of cement. It is difficult to
say whether the form of tooth with continuous ridges, or that in
which the ridges are divided into distinct columns, is the more
primitive, as both types (M. turicensis and M. anyustidens) occur in
the Middle Miocene, and both persisted into the Pliocene and Pleis-
tocene (M. americanus and M. arvernensis). M. turicemis passes,
however, into M. angustidens ; and it appears that, starting from the
latter generalized species, two branches of more specialized forms

may be traced — the one (in which there is a tendency of the valleys
of the molars to be much blocked and their columns to be ranged
alternately) passing through M. pandionis and M. perimensis to
M. sivalensis and M. arvernensis, and the other (in which the valleys
remain more open and the columns of the ridges run straight across
the crowns) passing through M. lonyirostris and M. latidens to
Elephas clifti, and then through the higher stegodont forms to the
true Elephants ; while there are signs that some of the middle forms
of these two branches were mutually connected.
The genus has been divided into groups by Falconer according to
the number of ridges in the cheek-teeth ; and this division indicates
the degree of evolution of its members. Cope * proposes to split the
genus into three (Mastodon, Dibelodon, and Tetrabelodori), according
to the presence or absence of enamel-bands in the upper incisors,
and of lower incisors ; but such division, even if it can be made,
directly traverses the evolutionary grouping of Falconer.

dentine-islets present trefoils on one side of each tooth ; and the
upper molars are cingulated. The mandibular symphysis is short
and spout-like, and usually edentulous in the adult, although two
small incisors are frequently present in the young, one of which is
occasionally retained in (probably male) adult individuals. In one
variety the enamel of the cheek-teeth is rugose, while in another
it is smooth ; a small quantity of cement is present in the valleys
of the cheek-teeth ; premolars were apparently not developed.

The mandibular symphysis is comparatively short, and is fre-
quently furnished with a pair of small incisors (see Lortet and
Chantre, Arch. Mus. Lyon, vol. ii. pi. xvi. fig. 1 [1878]), but in
other specimens appears edentulous (ibid. pi. xii. fig. 3) ; the ridges
and valleys of the molars run straight across the crown, the bases of
the valleys being partially blocked, and one half of each ridge
wearing into a more or less complete trefoil. The ciDgulum is con-
tinuous with the talons. The molars present a great resemblance
to those of M. amcricanus and M. turicensis, but are distinguished
from those of the latter by their generally superior size, greater
breadth, lower ridges4, general flatness, and the smaller cingulum
on the inner side of those of the upper jaw. It is probable that the
species is a more specialized branch of the stock of M. turicensis.
Hab. Europe. The species was originally described from the
Lower Pliocene (Astien) of Asti in Piedmont, and has been sub-
sequently recorded by Vacek (Abh. k.-k. geol. Reichs. vol. vii. pt. 4,
pp. 6-11 [1877]) from the Lower Pliocene (Congerian) of Austria-
Hungary, by Lortet and Chantre (Arch. Mus. Lyon, vol. ii. p. 306
[1878]) from the Upper Pliocene of the south of France, and by

species, which he records from the contemporaneous strata of Bal-
tavar, in Hungary. It occurs in the Bed Crag of England1.

Mastodon turicensis, Schin/A
Syn. Mastodon tapiroides, auct.
Tetrabdodon turicensis, Cope3.
Since there is a great probability that the name Mastodon tapi-
roides, Cuvier4, was applied to milk-molars of M. angustidens3 ,
Schinz's name is adopted for the present species.
According to Lartet6 the upper incisors are furnished with an
enamel-band, while the mandibular symphysis is elongated and
carries a pair of incisors 7. The ridges and valleys of the cheek-
teeth extend straight across the crown, accessory tubercles being
absent, and one column of each ridge wearing into an imperfect
trefoil ; their crowns are relatively narrow, and the ridges tall and
inclined ; a strong cingulum exists in the upper molars, and those
of both jaws have small, multicuspidate talons. The " inter-
mediate " molars very closely resemble those of M. americanus ;
while the milk-molars are almost indistinguishable from those of
M. angustidens. Premolars were developed8.

M. pyrenaicus is a variety in which the accessory columns of the
molars are less developed, thereby indicating a transition towards
M. turicensis. This is the smallest and one of the most generalized
species. The upper incisors are furnished with an enamel-band ;
the mandibular symphysis is longer than in any other species, is
somewhat deflected, and carries large incisors, which have a pyri-
form basal section : the mandibular rami are laterally compressed.
The cheek-teeth are characterized by their extreme narrowness ;
their ridges are divided into inner and outer columns, which have a
tendency to an alternate arrangement, and the valleys are always
blocked by accessory columns, the development of which varies
considerably in different individuals. The inferior border of the
mandibular ramus is nearly straight, and the incisive alveoli are
parallel. One column of each of the earlier ridges wears into a
more or less complete trefoil: the "intermediate" lower molars
have a small anterior and a large posterior talon, the latter usually
having two distinct columns ; there is a certain amount of variation
in the form of the third true molar. A section of m. 1 is shown in
the accompanying woodcut (fig. 4).

Hob. Europe, N.W. frontier of India, and (?) North America. In
Europe 1 the species occurs in France, Switzerland, Bavaria, Bohemia,
Austria-Hungary, and Styria. In Eastern Europe it occurs in the
Middle Miocene, in Western Europe in the Sarmatian stage of the
same, and in Asia in the Upper Miocene or Lower Pliocene. The
Asiatic form2, which has been distinguished as var. palceindicus,
presents a somewhat greater development of the accessory columns ;

but this can scarcely be regarded as a specific character. Cope l has
recorded the species from North America, but it ia not very apparent
how this form differs from the closely allied M. obscwrus, Leidy2,
which it has been thought may be only a local race of the European
species 3.

Mastodon pandionis, Falconer l.
Syn. Tetrdbelodon pandionis, Cope 2.
In this species the mandibular symphysis is produced into a long,
deeply hollowed, trough-like expansion, which in some specimens is
edentulous, but in others (which are apparently specifically identical)
is furnished with a pair of large laterally compressed incisors 3, the
mandibular rami being also compressed in the same direction. The
cheek-teeth are relatively wide, and are normally characterized by
the extreme complexity of the structure of the crowns, the accessory
tubercles being very numerous, placed on both sides of the median
longitudinal cleft, and completely blocking the valleys, although
in some earlier " intermediate " molars provisionally referred to this
species 4 the valleys are more free. The ridges are divided into
inner and outer columns, which have an alternate arrangement, and
when worn do not present distinct trefoils of dentine. The third
milk-molars provisionally referred to it are more complex than is
usually the case with trilophodont species, and in this respect agree
with those of M, pentelici ; the third upper true molar is relatively

Mastodon pentelici, Gaudry and Lartet '.
Syn. Tetrabelodon ptntelici, Cope 2.
This species is at present unrepresented in the Museum Collection,
although it is important that it should be noticed here ; at present
it appears to be only known by immature specimens. In mm. 4 the
ridges are interrupted and the valleys partially .blocked by accessory
tubercles ; the hind talon of mm. 3 is so largely developed as prac-
tically to form a third ridge (woodcut, fig. 9). The mandibular
symphysis is produced to a considerable extent, and is furnished with
incisors ; but premolars do not appear to have been developed. The
ridges of the milk-molars appear to be lower than in M. pandionis.

This species is of very large size, and apparently has a short and

on one column of each ridge and resemble in general structure those

This specimen apparently agrees precisely with the corre-

tologia Indica,' ser. 1 0, vol. i. pi. xxxiii. fig. 4. In addition
to its superior size and greater relative width, it differs
from m72 of M. angustidens by the form of the anterior
cingulum, by the absence of a distinct accessory tubercle
on the anterior side of the first inner column, by the
presence of a greater number of tubercles on the ridges,
by the form and size of the accessory tubercles in the
valleys, and the more decided approach to an alternate
arrangement of the columns. It is not improbable that
the specimen belongs to the same individual as an upper
true molar in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (No. A 327) 2.

Mastodon humboldti, Cuvier 3.
Syn. Dibelodon humboldti, Cope4.
In the molars both the inner and outer columns (which are quite
separate) of each ridge are flanked by accessory tubercles, so that
the valleys are blocked on both sides of the median longitudinal
cleft; and the enamel on the ridges being vertically grooved, a very
complex pattern is produced on the worn ridges, there being trefoils
on both the inner and outer columns of each ridge, although those
on the inner columns of the upper and the outer of the lower are
the best defined ; the columns of the ridges have a tendency to an
alternate arrangement, and the median longitudinal cleft is well
marked. The valleys of the teeth are coated with a thick coat of
cement, and the mandibular symphysis is comparatively short and
without incisors in the adult, although these appear to have been
present in the young (No. 19952 c). Premolars have apparently
not been observed.

Mastodon sivalensis, Cautley \
The cranium (woodcut, fig. 11) of this specialized species is much
vaulted, and the mandibular symphysis short and devoid of incisors.
The inner and outer columns of the cheek-teeth are placed alter-
nately (although there is some variation in this respect), and when
worn present irregularly-shaped disks of dentine. In consequence
of this arrangement the valleys are completely blocked, and a small
amount of cement is present. In some examples of the " inter-
mediate " molars there are five ridges, while there may be six in the
last true molar ; the enamel of the milk-molars is vertically grooved
but in the true molars it may be either grooved or smooth ; and pre-
molars have not been observed. The cheek-teeth are very like
those of M . arvernensis ; but the number of accessory tubercles is
frequently more numerous, and trefoils are never formed on the
columns, while the number of ridges is sometimes greater. The
two species are, however, closely allied.

in the short mandibular symphysis, the alternate arrangement of
the columns of the cheek-teeth, the absence of premolars, and the
vertically-grooved enamel of the milk-molars. It differs, however,
by the slightly greater length of the mandibular symphysis, the
absence of a tendency to the development of a peritalophodont ridge-
formula, and the lesser complexity of the accessory tubercles of the
molars. The columns of the ridges are very tall, and incline
forwards in the lower teeth. In some adult molars the enamel is
grooved, while in others it is quite smooth. A fourth upper milk-
molar is figured in the accompanying woodcut (fig. 13) ; and full-

Hub* Europe. The species ranges in time from the Lower Plio-
cene of Montpellier to the Tipper Pliocene of the Val d'Arno and
the Norwich Crag ; and has also a wide distribution in space, having
been recorded from England, France l, Italy2, Germany, Croatia3, &c.
It should be observed that while the molars of the other species of
Mastodon occurring in the Eed Crag are usually much rolled, and
therefore probably derived from older strata, those of the present
species found in the same deposits are generally unaffected by rolling
action.

Mastodon punjabiensis, Lydekker, n. sp.
The specimens1 on which this species is founded were originally
referred to M. perimensis, while one of them was subsequently
classed with M. cautleyi. The cheek-teeth are narrow, and have
no appreciable amount of cement, the last true molar being still more
elongated than in M . perimensis. There is no distinctly alternate
arrangement of the columns, which are very tall and of great antero-
posterior thickness. The first upper true molar (and probably, there-
fore, the adjacent teeth) can scarcely be distinguished from the
corresponding tooth of M. cautleyi, although its columns are perhaps
somewhat stouter. There is a cingulum on the inner side of the
upper true molars ; the valleys are completely blocked, and a
trefoil is formed on one column of each ridge. Premolars were
present, and the mandibular symphysis is short, and in some instances
tuskless2. The species appears to be a more specialized form allied
to M. longirostris, and the resemblance of its m. 1 to that of M.
cautleyi, which is indistinguishable from the same tooth in M. longi-
rostris, shows that isolated " intermediate " molars are not always
sufficient for specific diagnosis.

M. 2855. Cast of the third left upper true molar, in an early stage

writer in the ' Palasontologia Indica,' ser. 10, vol. i. pi. xlii.
(as M. perimensis). Its dimensions are 0,242 x 0,093 :
it differs widely from the corresponding tooth of M.
perimensis (No. 40079), and still more from that of M.
cautleyi (No. M. 2705) ; there are five ridges and a very
narrow hind talon, consisting of three large columns,
which are not arranged in a transverse line.

elongated and deflected, and carries a pair of short, subcylindrical
incisors. The columns of the cheek-teeth are separated by a deep
longitudinal cleft, but are arranged in the same transverse line ;
the accessory tubercles are of moderate size, and one column of each
of the earlier ridges wears into a distinct trefoil ; the valleys are
but slightly blocked, and do not contain any appreciable amount of
cement. Premolars are present. The last upper true molar usually
has a large and complex hind talon ; the inferior border of the man-
dibular ramus is highly convex, and the incisive alveoli diverge
anteriorly.

Mastodon cautleyi, Lydekker \
This provisional species connects the European M. longirostris
with the Asiatic M. latidens. The mandibular symphyeis is not
known. The upper molars are relatively wide, with comparatively
high transverse ridges, ohstr acted valleys, and a somewhat fluted
enamel. The inner columns wear into very distinct trefoils, the
hind talons are very small, there is usually a cingulum on the inner
border, and the third molar 2 is comparatively short and has five
ridges and a narrow single hind talon. The lower molars cannot
in many cases be satisfactorily distinguished from those of M. lati-
dens. Premolars are probably present-, and there is no cement.
That the present form passes insensibly into M. latidens is quite
evident, and its right to specific distinction is perhaps doubtful ; as
far, however, as the " intermediate " molars are concerned, it might
equally well be included in M. longirostris, as these teeth are
practically indistinguishable.

Mastodon latidens, Clift1.
This species forms the connecting-link between M. cauileyi and
Ehpfias clifti, and unites the two so closely that it is frequently
a matter of extreme difficulty to refer individual teeth to their re-
spective species. The mandibular syinphysis is not certainly known,
but it was probably short and tuskless. The upper molars are
very wide, with no cingulum and relatively low transverse ridges,
the median longitudinal cleft being frequently indistinct, the acces-
sory tubercles small and the valleys comparatively open, the trefoils
on the worn ridges imperfect, and the worn dentine surfaces on the
inner and outer columns soon uniting. The hind talons are very
large, while the inner border of the crown is concave and without
a distinct cingulum ; a fifth ridge is sometimes present in m. 2 2 ;
and the hind talon of m. 3 is always large, and may sometimes be
reckoned as a sixth ridge. The enamel is very thick, and in the
hinder teeth quite smooth ; cement is usually absent, and premolars
were probably developed. Those molars in which the ridges are
relatively taller and the accessory columns more developed pass im-
perceptibly into M. catitleyi, while those in which these features are
less developed and the median cleft more indistinct lead insensibly
on to Elephas clifti.

Genus ELEPHAS, Linn.1
Including tttegodon, Loxodon, and Euelephas, Falconer 2.
Dentition:— Usually I. J, C. J, Mm. |, M. |. The upper incisors
(which are preceded by milk-teeth) are usually large, and are devoid
of enamel except on the unworn apex. Lower incisors are apparently
always absent, and preinolars are known in only two species ; the
mandibular syrnphysis is always short, and frequently terminates in a
deflected spout-like channel. The ridges of the cheek-teeth are always
entire, and there is usually no trace of a median longitudinal cleft
on their crowns ; cement is always present in the valleys, but its
amount, as well as the relative height of the ridges, varies greatly
in different species. The number of ridges in the " intermediate "
molars appears to be never less than five, and, except in some of the
more generalized forms, is not isomerous throughout the series ;
the number of ridges in m. 3 is never less than seven, and may
reach to twenty-four. The plane of wear of the crowns of the
teeth of all the species except E. clifti is either nearly horizontal, or
the inner side of the upper teeth and the outer side of the lower
is the higher. There are never more than one or portions of two
cheek-teeth in use at any one time ; and all the teeth succeed one
another in the arc of a circle. The cranium is more vaulted than
is usually the case in Mastodon.

There is no character by which the present genus can be distin-
guished from Mastodon-, and the division can therefore only be
regarded as a matter of convenience.
A. Stegodont Group.
The ridge-formula of the cheek-teeth of the group embraces the
following rano-e viz •— Mm 2'(4"5) -(5"7) M C*-8)- (8-8) -(7-U)
ing idnge, u. 2-(4^)-(5_7) ; «- (6?-7).(6?-12) .(7-13)'
The ridges are comparatively low, broad, and tectiform, and the
valleys may be only partially filled with cement. The summits of
the unworn ridges are capped by numerous mammillae ; and the
crowns of the teeth may retain traces of the median longitudinal
cleft. The transition effected by E. clifti to Mastodon latidens is so
complete as to indicate that there is no real distinction between the
two genera \ Iii all those members of the group in which the
cranium is known, the vertex is relatively low, and the length from
the nasal aperture to the vertex is consequently comparatively
short, and the incisions of the temporal fossa on to the frontals are
comparatively small ; in both of which respects the group agrees
much more nearly with E. africanus than with E. indicus ~.

This species is still very imperfectly known; the ridge-formula
may be approximately given as Mm. Jf ?4 ' J ; M. (^-; £-<£§. The
ridges are low, and there is usually a more or less distinct trace of
the median longitudinal cleft on the crowns of the cheek-teeth, in
which the plane of wear is the same as in Mastodon. The valleys
of the teeth contain only a small quantity of cement, the enamel is
vertically grooved, and usually thinner than in Mastodon latidens,
while the number of cusps on the ridges is more numerous than in
that species. Premolars are -present in one specimen provisionally
referred to this species ; and the mandibular symphysis was probably

the deep grooving of the enamel, and the greater number

The ridge-formula of this species may be approximately given as
Mm- ?7i7(E?)' M- r (7-8) ! (£§• Tlie ridges are rather taller, somewhat
wider apart, and more numerous than in E. clifti, and the valleys
are generally completely filled with cement ; it is, however, some-
times very difficult to distinguish between the hinder teeth of the
two species, while in the opposite direction it is often difficult to
distinguish between those of E. bombifrons and E. insignis. The
teeth figured by Falconer and Cautley under the name of E. ganesa
cannot be distinguished from those of the present species, and are
therefore provisionally classed under the same head. The teeth are
frequently very large, and the ridges are often curved ; a trace of
the median longitudinal cleft can often be observed in the first two
or three ridges, and the inner columns of these ridges occasionally
show accessory tubercles near the longitudinal cleft, where they
assume a Mastodon-like shape. The plane of wear of the teeth of

The third true molars in the type cranium of this species contain
ten ridges, and thereby agree with the corresponding teeth of E.
insignis rather than of E. bombifrons, a conclusion confirmed by a
second cranium, in which there appear to be either ten or eleven
ridges in the same tooth 2. This close resemblance between the last
molar of this form and of E. insignis renders it apparently impossible
to draw any distinction between the earlier teeth of the two forms 3,
and all such teeth are therefore referred to the latter. Falconer 4
had considerable doubts as to the specific distinctness of the present
Fig. 21.

form, and as the resemblance between the type cranium and the
young cranium of E. insignis* indicates that the two are closely
related, it is possible that E. ganesa may be the male form of E. in-
signis. The adult cranium does not differ very widely from the
type of E. indicus, although the frontal constriction is less marked.

The apparent impossibility of distinguishing the dentition of this
trjecies from that of E. ganesa has been already mentioned. The
rklge-f ormula 6 may be approximately given as Mm. ^-f-r>
M- (:i(9-is)' The ridSes of the cheek-teeth are usually
rather taller and narrower than in E. bombifrons, their average
number greater, and the cement still more abundant. It is, however,
not always easy to distinguish between the two. The third molar
is usually narrower posteriorly, and the enamel frequently thinner.
The taller and more numerous ridges indicate that the present
species is intermediate in respect of dental characters between
E. bombifrons and E. planifrons. The adult cranium is remarkable
for the great depression of the fronto-parietal region, although this
feature is less marked in some specimens than in others 7 ; but in
the young cranium the contour is indistinguishable from that of
the adult E. ganesa 8.

evidently incorrect; a modification was given by the present writer in the

was also incorrect, as it included one specimen of E. bombifrons.

might equally well have belonged to E. ganesa.

B. Elephantine Group.
Falconer's division of the more hypsodont Elephants into the
loxodont and euelephantine groups has been found untenable l, and
as there are also objections to Pohlig's 2 proposed triple division into
the archidiscodont, loxodont, and polydiscodont groups, the whole of
the species are included in a single group.
In all the species of this group the ridges of the molars are so
tall that they assume the appearance of plates, but there is great
variation in respect to their height and number, those of the less
specialized forms being not more numerous than in Elephas insignis.
The cement always completely fills the interspaces between the ridges,
and in the higher forms these interspaces are extremely narrow.
An almost complete transition in dental characters can be traced
from the stegodont E. insiynis through E. planifrons and E. meri-
dionaUs to E. hysudricus, whence there is a passage to E. nama-
dicus and E. antiquus, and thence to E. primigenius, E. indicus, &c.
One variety of E. antiquus shows, moreover, a molar structure so
closely resembling that of E. africanus that a transition can be traced
between these two species, and also between the former and the small
Maltese species. Leith-Adams 3 indeed suggests that E. hysudricus
gave rise to two branches, one comprising E. namadicus, E. antiquus,
E. africanus, and the Maltese species, and the other E. primigenius,
E. indicus, &c. ; but the evidence is not sufficient to render this
view by any means conclusive, and it has the objection of placing
no intermediate form between E. hysudricus and the E. primigenius
subgroup. It will be obvious from these remarks that it is impossible
to exhibit the mutual relations of the various species in a linear
arrangement.

approximately represented as Mm. jj ' (5"6) ' [£g, M. ^^-^"j ; it
is, however, not impossible that a larger series of specimens would
probably show some variation in the number of ridges of the first
true molar : certain specimens of ET1J referred to this species by
Falconer have fourteen ridges, and approximate so closely to
E. Jiysudt-icus that their specific reference is doubtful. The crowns
of the molars are broad, the ridges are higher than in E. insignia,
and the quantity of cement in the interspaces (woodcut, fig. 24,
p. 102) is frequently very great ; the enamel in the ridges of the true
molars is usually thick, and frequently almost, or quite, devoid of
plication, especially near the root of the crown ; and when plication
exists (as it frequently does, especially in the milk-molars) it is
relatively coarse. The worn ridges present subellipsoidal disks,
which have frequently an expansion in the middle, sometimes
assuming an imperfect lozenge-shape ; and in slightly worn teeth the
middle portion of each ridge frequently forms an isolated disk ;
there is great variation in the relative breadth of the ridges as well
as in the degree of their mesial expansion and the distance by
which they are separated from one another ; the relative width and
the absolute size of the teeth also vary very considerably. Both
the third and the fourth milk-molars were vertically succeeded by
premolars. The cranium (woodcut, fig. 23, p. 100) is characterized
by the flatness of the fronto-parietal region, the small incision of the
temporal fossae on the frontals, the comparatively slight vaulting of
the vertex, the smallness of the nasal aperture and its approximation
to the vertex, and the divergence of the incisive alveoli — the majority
of these characters showing resemblance to the stegodont group and
E. africanus. The mandible has two or three mentary foramina,
and a small deflected spout-like termination to the symphysis. Some
individuals were of enormous size.
The absence of premolars in E. insignis and E. bombifrons would
seem to indicate that the present species is not a direct descendant
of either of them. In cases where the ridges are narrower and
taller than usual, it is sometimes very difficult to distinguish
between the molars of this species and those of E. hysudricus ; and
the doubtful specimens of m. 3 noticed on page 106 may indicate a
form connecting the two species.

similar to those of E. planifrons, but with a rather higher average.
The cheek-teeth usually so closely resemble those of the latter
species, that if they both occurred in the same area it is more than
doubtful if they could be specifically distinguished. Both fre-
quently exhibit partial denudation of the enamel-ridges when much
worn. There is considerable variation in the thickness of the
enamel and in the breadth of the ridges ; and some of those molars
in which the enamel is relatively thin and considerably plicated,
and the ridges narrow and closely approximated, approach very
near to some molars of E. hysudricus and E. anliquus3, — the
resemblance being greatest when the teeth are much worn. The
cranium4 is characterized by the large, slightly-curved incisors
and the diverging incisive alveoli5. In general contour it is
intermediate between E. planifrons and E. hysudricus, although
nearer to the latter than the former 6. It agrees with the former
to a certain extent in the relative distance between the nasals and
the vertex; but has the vertex more vaulted, the frontal profile
concave7, the occiput with a deep fissure for the nuchal ligament,
and the temporal fossae intruding largely on the frontal aspect.
These features are, however, not so strongly developed as in E.
hysudrwus, and the present species may be regarded as one which,
while retaining a dentition very like that of E. planifrons, has a
cranium more closely resembling that of E. hysudricus, and thus
forming a connecting link between the two, although it cannot
probably be regarded as the directly intermediate species. The
species attained an enormous size, the height of some individuals

Elephas hysudricus, Falconer and Cautley1.
Syn. Euelephas hysudricus, auct.
Pohlig2 has proposed to identify this species with E. meridionalis,
but both the dentition and cranium indicate a more specialized
form The ridge-formula3, excluding talons, appears to be: — Mm.
fcSSHHiv M- !Sg;{£g:l£i." The crowns °f the cheek-teeth
are wide in proportion to their length, and their ridges are usually
taller, narrower, and more numerous than in E. meridionalis ; the
enamel is frequently very thin and much plicated, and the ridges
are closely approximated, with their worn dentine surfaces relatively
narrow. In other specimens, however, the enamel is thicker, the
plication very slight, and the ridges less numerous, thicker, and
placed further apart, with broader and more mesially-expanded
dentine surfaces ; and such specimens approach very closely to
certain molars of E. meridionalis and E. planifrons. The cranium
of the adult 4 is very like that of the former species ; but has the
vertex more vaulted, the fissure on the occiput for the ligamentum
nuchse deeper and extending on to the facial aspect, the frontal
cavity deeper, and the temporal fossa3 larger. In the young cranium 5
the frontal cavity is wanting. In the majority of these cranial
characters the species agrees with E. indicus; and, although the
frontal concavity and the occipital fissure are more exaggerated in
the fossil, it is not improbable that the one form may be the direct
ancestor of the other.
The present species attained dimensions fully equal to those of
E. meridionalis.

remain in mm. 3, and from the height of these ridges it
seems not improbable that the original determination is
the correct one.

The rido-e-formula 4, excluding talons, may be represented as
Mm. "f:iS5:;^. «• The rid^s are «me-
rally higher and more numerous than in E. liysudricus, but less so
than in E. primigenius. The molars are usually relatively narrow
in respect to their length and height, this feature being apparent
even in the " broad-crowned " and " thick-ridged " varieties. Gene-
rally in the upper, and almost always in the lower, molars there
is a slight mesial expansion of the worn disks of the ridges, which
may or may not be angulated. The plication of the enamel
varies greatly, being most marked in the " narrow- crowned "
variety, and least so in the " broad-crowned " variety, in which
the mesial expansion is often wanting; the enamel is usually
thicker than in E. primigenius. The molars are subject to great
variation — those of the thick-ridged variety (Falconer's E. priscus)
approaching very closely to those of E. africanus, while other
specimens approximate to E. meridionalis, and others again to
E. primigenius. The incisor is either gently curved as in E. indicus,
or straight ; it narrows gradually from base to tip. The characters
of the cranium are not fully known, but the mandible approximates
to that of E. africanus. The species attains a large size, Pohlig
(op. cit.) stating that it even exceeds E. meridionalis in this respect ;
a small race from the cave of Cucigliana, Monti Pisani, Tuscany,
has been distinguished by Acconci5 as var. nanus.
Hab. Europe, apparently not ranging north of Yorkshire. In
1 Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xiii., table facing p. 319 (1857). Molars of this
species had been previously figured in the ' Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,' pis. xiv.
(1846), xiv. A. (1847), but were named E. meridionalis; the name E. antiquus
also occurs on pi. xiv. B. (1847) of the same work, but was applied to molars of
E. meridionalis.
8 ' Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,' pt. 2, pi. xiv. (1846). The specimens were
provisionally identified with E. priscus, Goldfuss (Nova Acta Ac. Caes. Leop.-
Car. vol. xi. art. 2, p. 489 [1823]), which was apparently applied to molars of the
African Elephant (' Falconer's Palaeontological Memoirs,' vol. ii. pp. 94, 95).
E. priscus, F. & C., has the priority over E. antiquus, but the latter is too
universally accepted to be abolished.

England it certainly ranges from the Forest-bed to the close of
the Pleistocene l, and it probably occurs in the Norwich Crag (vide
infra, p. 124) ; specimens from the Red Crag have been figured by
Leith- Adams 2, and provisionally referred to this species, but the
writer considers it more probable that they belong to E. meridionalis.
It not improbably occurs also in the Lower Pleistocene of North
Africa3; in which region there also occurs E. ailanticus, Pomel *, of
the Upper Pleistocene, which appears to be a form connecting
E. antiquus with E. africanus.

Elephas mnaidriensis, Leith- Adams '.
This species is considered to have averaged between six and
seven feet in height and to have been allied to the narrow-crowned
race of E. antiquus and also to E. africanus. The ridge-formula is
given by Leith- Adams 2 (exclusive of talons) as Mm. |' g'((g~^>
which is lower than in#. antiquus and nearer E. me-
ridionalis. The form of the disks on the worn ridges of the molars
is very similar to those in the narrow-crowned variety of E. antiquus;
the plication of the enamel is usually less marked than in the next
species, and there are both thin- and thick-ridged teeth. There is
considerable difficulty in referring many of the earlier teeth to their
proper serial position, and it is not always easy to determine whether
a tooth which might be regarded as (say) m. 1 of the present species
might not be mm. 4 of E. melitensis. Many of the serial determina-
tions made by Leith- Adams are provisional 3, and they are in the
main followed here with the same proviso. It is probable that
there was a complete transition from E. antiquus through the
present form to E. melitensis ; and whether the three forms be
regarded as distinct species, or merely as races of one or two very
variable species, is a matter of individual opinion, and one of com-
paratively little import 4.
Hob. Malta. All the following specimens (which are the types)
are from the Pleistocene cavern and rock-fissure deposits of that
island. Unless otherwise stated, they belong to the Leith-Adams
Collection, which was purchased in 1873 ; the majority of these
specimens have been described and figured by Leith-Adams in the
Trans. Zool. Soc. vol. ix. part 1 (1874).

inferred that such inclusion would embrace the present form.

Elephas melitensis, Falconer !.
Including E. fakoneri, Busk 2.
Syn. Loxodon melitensis, auct.
The relationship of the present species to E. mnaidriensis has been
mentioned under the latter head. The ridge-formula according to
Leith-Adams 3 is (exclusive of talons) Mm. j^'glg, M. gig ' ^ ' g.
The typical form of the species is estimated to have occasionally
attained a height of five feet, while the smaller form (to which
Busk assigned the name E. falconeri) was only about three feet in
height 4. Apart from their smaller size, and the tendency to a
slightly lower number of ridges, the molars are very similar to
those of E. mnaidriensis, but the plication of the enamel is frequently

rather more marked, and there are some other slight structural
differences *. If this and the preceding form are reckoned merely
as varieties of a single species, the name E. melitensis has the
priority. As in the case of the last species, there is considerable
uncertainty as to the serial position of many of the teeth, the
provisional determinations of Busk and Leith- Adams (Trans. Zool.
Soc. vols. vi. & ix.) being followed. The same authorities are
responsible for the specific reference of the bones respectively
referred to this and the preceding species.

The cheek-teeth of this species appear frequently almost or quite
indistinguishable from those of the broad-toothed variety of E. an-
tiquus, although the ridge-formula is, on the whole, rather higher
and the ridges themselves are somewhat taller : some teeth, however

especially those from Burma, China, and Japan, show excessive
plication of the enamel, and thereby approximate to K indicus,
although with a lower ridge-formula1. In their height and number
of ridges, the teeth are intermediate between those of E. hysudricus
and E. indicus ; and were it not for the peculiar character of the
cranium, the species might be regarded as the direct link between
the two. The adult cranium is characterized by the presence of a
bold, overlapping, transverse ridge on the f rentals2, which appears
to be wanting in E. antiquus. On the occipital aspect the great
depth of the fissure for the ligamentum nuchse indicates that the
species is probably a descendant of E. hysudricus.
Hub. India, Burma3, China4, and Japan5. In India the species
occurs in the Pleistocene of the Narbada valley, and it is probable
that the other specimens are from strata of equivalent age. The
woodcut (fig. 29) represents a molar from the Pleistocene of Japan,

J One of the Japanese specimens was referred by Leith-Adams to E. indicus.
2 It has been suggested by Leith-Adams (' British Fossil Elephants ' [Mon. Pal.
Soc.], p. 52) that this feature is partly due to crushing — a view disproved by its
occurrence in numerous specimens in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (see ' Palse-
ontologia Indica,' ser. 10, vol. i. p. 281, and the writer's ' Catalogue of Pleisto-
cene and Prehistoric Vertebrata in the Indian Museum,' p. 14 (1886).

which may pretty safely be referred to the present species, although
it was described by Leith-Adams, in the ' Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc.'
vol. xxiv. p. 496, as belonging to E. indicus1. This specimen is
•undoubtedly specifically identical with the Japanese specimens de-
scribed by Naumann, one of which (pi. vii.) was obtained from the
neighbourhood of Tokio ; the third lower true molar in these
specimens (pi. vi.) has but sixteen ridges, and therefore differs
widely from m. 3 of E indicus.

referred to E. armeniacus. It agrees, however, very closely
with Nos. 36687 and M. 3094, and shows the deep grooving
of the enamel characteristic of this species and E. antiquus ;
the ridges are farther apart than in E. armeniacus, and
their wear is different.

The molars of this imperfectly known species were regarded by
Falconer as being intermediate between those of E. antiquus and
E. indicus ; there are, however, certain thin-ridged molars, said to
be from the same deposits, which are indistinguishable from those
of E. primigenim, and are accordingly included under that head.

posterior expansion of the basal extremities of the ridges ; the

This species is definitely known only by the following specimens,
which belong to an animal of very large size. The structure of the
molars indicates a species intermediate between E. primigenius and
E. indicus, which is probably an ancestral form closely connected
with both 2. The crowns of the molars are extremely wide, the ridges
approximated, with their extremities curving backwards, the enamel
is moderately thick and much plicated, and the wear of the crown
irregular. In their great width these teeth agree with those of
E. primigenius, but in the other characters with those of E. indicus 3.
Sab. Armenia. It is stated in ' Falconer's Palaeontological Me-
moirs,' vol. ii. pp. 249, 250, that Falconer was inclined to refer
certain Italian and Sicilian molars to the present species. A molar

The ridge-formula of the molars (exclusive of talons) may be
approximately given as MM. gfrgfrgff. M. gff^gSg.
The frontal aspect of the cranium is elongated, the incisive alveoli
are long and divergent, the temporal fossa? intrude largely on to the
frontal aspect, and the interval between the narial aperture and the
vertex is very great, the symphysial channel of the mandible being
very wide and short. In general contour the cranium agrees very
closely with that of E. indicus, but is relatively narrower. The
incisors are usually long, spiral, and not very thick near the
alveolus ; they are, however, subject to great variation. The molars
are relatively wide in proportion to their length ; their ridges are
narrow and closely packed, with the cement, enamel, and dentine very
thin ; the plication of the enamel is usually slight ; the worn dentine-
disks are very narrow ; and the crown is usually characterized by the
extreme flatness of its wear. Variations are common, and those
molars in which the ridges are thicker and less numerous and the
enamel more plicated approach very closely to certain examples of
E. antiquus. The existing Indian species presents a close approach
in dental and skeletal structure, but the molars are decidedly of a
less specialized type, and thereby indicate that the living species is
not a descendant of the Mammoth. E. armeniacus, as mentioned
above, is intermediate between the two in respect of molar-structure,
although nearer to E. indicus.
Hob. Northern Europe, Asia, and America. In England the
species first appears in the Norfolk Forest-bed2, and continues
throughout the whole of the Pleistocene : if, therefore, the view of
including the Forest-bed in the Pleistocene be followed, the species
may be considered characteristic of that period.

Mastodon cautleyi (page 71).
M. 3500. The first three ridges (the third wanting the inner column)
of the germ of the second left upper true molar of a
small individual ; from Perim Island. This specimen, in
which the width anteriorly is 0,078, is rather smaller than
No. M. 2887 (page 72), but agrees in every detail of struc-
ture. Presented by Col. J. W. Watson, 1886.
