Although the former is evidently a generalized form connecting the Hlephantide with * Bull. Soc. Géol. France, sér. 3, vol. vii. p. 51 (1879).

Founded upon a fragment of an incisor, which apparently presents no characters by which it can be generically distinguished from a tusk of Llephas or Mastodon, INTRODUCTION. Xl 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 Hlephantide; 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, x1 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 one’. 1 See ‘ Palzontologia Indica’ (Mem. Geol. Surv. India), ser. 10, vol. iii. pp. 17, 18. 2 The beds of Mont Léberon 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 X1V INTRODUCTION. As a compromise, which has the convenience of ayoiding the necessity of abolishing the term Middle Miocene', which has become almost a classic one through the labours of the French palzontolo- gists, the term Upper Miocene may be retained for the Ciningen or higher beds of the Upper Swiss freshwater molasse*, which connect the Eppelsheim beds with the typical Middle Miocene of France, and are placed by some geologists in the Miocene’, and by others* 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 Giningen stage, appear to correspond to the French Middle Miocene. The Congerian 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 Cningen 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 Fuchs’ 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 Géologie du Mont Léberon,’ p- 106), which is the equivalent of the Pliocene Congerian (Inzersdorf and Belvedere) stage of the Vienna Basin (see Creduer, ‘ Elemente der Geologie,’ 5th ed. p. 707). Some English geologists (Geikie and Duncan) retain, how- ever, the Vaucluse beds in the Upper 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. * The beds at Cerdagne (Pyrénées-Orientales) are probably approximately equivalent. 3 Duncan, ‘ Lyell’s Elements of Geology,’ 4th ed. p. 184 (1885), and Geikie, ‘Text-book of Geology,’ Ist ed. pp. 867-8 (1882). * Oredner, ‘ Hlemente der Geologie,’ 5th ed. p. 696 (1883). 5 See Blanford, Presidential Address to Geol. Sect. British Association, 1884. INTRODUCTION. XV 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 horizon’, 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 *; 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 11.

Geikie again (‘'Text- book of Geology,’ 1st ed. p. 856) includes both groups A and B of the Lower Miocene in the Upper Oligocene, and restricts the Middle Oligocene to the Calcaire de Brie and its equivalents. 3 See Depéret, ‘Bull. Soc. Géol. France,’ sér. 3, vol. xii. p. 283. The Neschers beds are quoted in Part I. p. 130 of this work as Pliocene. Xv1 . INTRODUCTION. Without Oligocene. With Oligocene.

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 Diawon 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 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 Dinothertum with the Perissodactyla, and is not improbably evidence of their original community of descent. In section the incisors do not present decussating striz.

Since the difference in size between D. indicum and D. pentapotamie 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 Weinsheimer‘ with the European species; but there appear to be slight differences’ in the teeth, which may be of specific value. Thus pm. 3 and pm. 5 do not agree exactly with those of the latter species, while in the mandible (‘ Paleontologia Indica,’ ser. 10, vol. i. pls. 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 m.1 is of a regular elliptic form.

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 productus! there appear to be three such teeth. There are never less than three ridges in mm. 4, m. 1, and m. 2°; 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- 1 See Lydekker, ‘Palzontologia Indica’ (Mem. Geol. Surv.

Including :— Trilophodon and Tetralophodon, Falconer”. Dibelodon and Tetrabelodon, Cope *. Dentition:—I. wa C. 5 , Mm. > Pm = M.; The upper incisors are large, and may ae Ton pita 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 incisors, 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 (MV. turicensis and M. angqustidens) occur in the Middle Miocene, and both persisted into the Pliocene and Pleis- tocene (M. americanus and M. arvernensis). M. turicensis passes, - however, into M. angustidens ; and it appears that, starting from the latter generalized species, two branches of more specialized forms 1 Ann. d.

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 Tetrabelodon), 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.

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.

Mus. Lyon, vol. ii. pl. xvi. fig. 1 [1878]), but in other specimens appears, edentulous (ibid. pl. 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 cingulum is con- tinuous with the talons. The molars present a great resemblance to those of M. americanus and M. turicensis, but are distinguished from those of the latter by their generally superior size, greater breadth, lower ridges*, 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. Kurope.

Since there is a great probability that the name Mastodon tapi- roides, Cuvier*, was applied to milk-molars of M. angustidens’, Schinz’s name is adopted for the present species. According to Lartet® the upper incisors are furnished with an enamel-band, while the mandibular symphysis is elongated and carries a pair of incisors’. 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 developed’. Hab.

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 haying two distinct columns; there is a certain amount of variation _in the form of the third true molar. A section of m. i is shown in the accompanying woodcut (fig. 4). Fig. 4.

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).

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. Hab. India (Siwalik Hills and Punjab). Unless otherwise stated, the following specimens are from the Pliocene of the Siwalik Hills. M. 2876.

The imperfect cranium, showing the broken bases of m. 2 (Fig.) and m.3 of either side; from the Pliocene Siwaliks of Perim Island, Gulf of Cambay, India. This specimen is the type, and is figured by Falconer and Cautley in the ‘Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,’ pls. xxxvill., xxxix. The molars are nearly parallel, with a comparatively narrow interval between them. ‘The dimensions of m. 2 are 0,115 x 0,078, and those of m. 3 0,177 x 0,080. Presented by Captain G.

This specimen corresponds exactly with the palate of the last specimen ; the dimensions of the base of m. 2 being 0,120 x 0,078, and those of m. 30,179 x 0,080. The third molar is too imperfect to afford a satisfactory figure; it has five ridges and a smail hind talon, the ridges being rather narrow, the valleys much blocked, and the hinder ex- tremity moderately tapering. Presented by C. Falconer, Esq., 1867. M 2851. Cast of the germ of the second left upper true molar, imperfect anteriorly.

The specimens! on which this species is founded were originally referred to M. perimensis, while one of them was subsequently classed with M. cautleyz. 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 MW. 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 tuskless*, ‘The species appears to be a more specialized form allied to M. longirostris, and the resemblance of its m. 1 to that of WM. cautleyr, which is indistinguishable from the same toothin WM. longi- rostris, shows that isolated ‘‘ intermediate” molars are not always sufficient for specific diagnosis. Hab. India (Punjab). M. 2855. Cast of the third left upper true molar, in an early stage of wear. The original was obtained from the Pliocene Siwaliks of the Punjab, and is preserved in the Indian Museum, Calcutta (No. A 46) ; it is figured by the present writer in the ‘ Paleontologia Indica,’ ser. 10, vol. i. pl. xlii. (as M. perimensis). Its dimensions are 0,242 x 0,098: it differs widely from the corresponding tooth of MM. perimensis (No. 40679), and still more from that of JZ, 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.

The broken portion of the original has been restored in the cast. Made in the Museum, 1886. The following specimen may perhaps belong to this species. M. 2854. The hinder half of the well-worn third left lower true molar; from the Siwaliks, but locality unknown.

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. | Hab.

A: Mastodon cautleyi, Lydekker ! This provisional species connects the European M. longirostris with the Asiatic M. latidens. The mandibular symphysis is not known. The upper molars are relatively wide, with comparatively high transverse ridges, obstructed 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”? 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 WM. 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.

This species forms the connecting-link between M. cautley: and Klephas cliftt, 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 symphysis 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?; and the hind talon of m.31is always large, and may sometimes ie 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 MW. cautleyz, while those in which these features are less developed and the median cleft more indistinct lead imsensibly on to Hlephas chift.

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 premolars are known in only two species; the mandibular symphysis 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 Z. 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 are of a circle. The cranium is more vaulted than is usually the case in Mastodon. l Syst. Nat. ed. 12, vol. i. p. 48 (1766). 2 Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xiii. p. 518 (1857).

The transition effected by L. cliftc to Mastodon latidens is so complete as to indicate that there is no real distinction between the two genera’.

The third true molars in the type cranium of this species contain . ten ridges, and thereby agree with the corresponding teeth of #. insigmis rather than of EH. bombifrons,a conclusion confirmed by a second cranium, in which there appear to be either ten or eleven ridges in the same tooth’. This close resemblance between the last molar of this form and of HL. insignis renders it apparently impossible to draw any distinction between the earlier teeth of the two forms’, and all such teeth are therefore referred to the latter.

The adult cranium does not differ very widely from the type of 4. indicus, although the frovtal constriction is less marked. 1 Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis, pt. i. p. 45 (1846). See Rec. Geol. Surv.

Itis, 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 Ei. bombifrons and EF. 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’; but in the young cranium the contour is indistinguishable from that of the adult £. ganesa’*. | * See ‘ Palzontologia Indica,’ ser. 10, vol. i. p. 274. ?

Falconer’s division of the more hypsodont Elephants into the loxodont and euelephantine groups has been found untenable’, and as there are also objections to Pohlig’s * 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 Hlephas 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 FH. insignis through EL. planifrons and E. meri- cionahs to EH. hysudricus, whence there is a passage to #. nama- dicus and EL. antiquus, and thence to E. primigenius, E. indicus, &e. One variety of H. antiquus shows, moreover, a molar structure so closely resembling that of H. africanus that a transition can be traced between these two species, and also between the former and the small Maltese species. Leith-Adams ° indeed suggests that H. hysudricus gave rise to two branches, one comprising FH. namadicus, E. antiquus, LE. africanus, and the Maltese species, and the other Z. prumigenius, EL. indicus, &e.; 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 EL. hysudricus and the EH. 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. Elephas planifrons, Falconer and Cautley *. Syn.

The archidiscodont group in- cludes E. planifrons and E. meridionalis (in which EL. hysudricus is merged) ; the loxodont group E. africanus and (?) £. antiguus (with which the Maltese forms are identified) ; while the polydiscodont group comprises all the remaining species. 3 History of British Fossil Elephants (Mon. Pal.

ELEPHANTID&. 99 OPED, a EDAD, 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 m.3 referred to this species by Falconer have fourteen ridges, and approximate so closely to E. hysudricus that their specific reference is doubtful. The crowns of the molars are broad, the ridges are higher than in Z. wsiqnis, 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 fossze 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 EL. 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 H. ensignis and EL. 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.

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 EH. hysudricus and £. antiquus*,—the resemblance being greatest when the teeth are much worn. The cranium‘ is characterized by the large, slightly-curved incisors and the diverging incisive alveoli’, In general contour it is intermediate between H. planifrons and E. hysudricus, although nearer to the latter than the former’. 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 concave’, the occiput with a deep fissure for the nuchal ligament, and the temporal fossz intruding largely on the frontal aspect. These features are, however, not so strongly developed as in Z. hysudricus, and the present species may be regarded as one which, while retaining a dentition very like that of H. planzfrons, has a cranium more closely resembling that of HL. hysudricus, and thus forming a connecting link between the two, although it cannot probably be regarded as the directly intermediate species.

Pohlig* has proposed to identify this species with EL. meridionalis, but both the dentition and cranium indicate a more specialized form. The ridge-formula’, excluding talons, appears to be:—Mm. 3.(5-7) . (9-11) (9-12) . (10-12) . (13-17) 5a) Gall)? oe als) da1By.z=I8)" The crowns of the cheek-teeth are wide in proportion to their length, and their ridges are usually taller, narrower, and more numerous than in H. meritdionalis; 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* is very like that of the former species; but has. the vertex more vaulted, the fissure on the occiput for the ligamentum nuche deeper and extending on to the facial aspect, the frontal cavity deeper, and the temporal fosse larger. In the young cranium® 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. meridional. Hab. India (Pliocene of the Siwalik Hills and Punjab, and [apparently] Pleistocene of the Narbada Valley). Unless otherwise stated, the following specimens are from the Siwalik Hills, and belong to the Cautley Collection, presented, 1842. i 1 Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis, pt. 1, p. 41 (1846). 2 Sitz. niederrhein.

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-crdwned ” variety, and least so in the “ broad-crowned” variety, in which the mesial expansion is often wanting; the enamel is usually thicker than in £. primigenius. The molars are subject to great variation—those of the thick-ridged variety (Falconer’s £. priscus) approaching very closely to those of H#. africanus, while other specimens approximate to H. meridionalis, and others again to — E. primigenius. The incisor is either gently curved as in Z. «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 H. africanus. The species attains a large size, Pohlig (op. cit.) stating that it even exceeds EZ. meridionalis in this respect ; a small race from the cave of Cucigliana, Monti Pisani, Tuscany, has been distinguished by Acconci’ as var. nanus.

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 £. africanus. The ridge-formula is given by Leith-Adams” (exclusive of talons) as Mm. ent M, 829-10. G2—18) §—9 107 Q2=13)? 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 #. 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. ! of the present species might not be mm.4 of HF. melitensis. Many of the serial determina- tions made by Leith-Adams are provisional*, and they are in the main followed here with the same proviso. It is probable that there was a complete transition from L£. antiquus through the present form to #. 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 *.

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 HL. primigenius and E. indicus, which is probably an ancestral form closely connected with both?. 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 Z. indicus ?. Hab. Armenia. It is stated in ‘ Falconer’s Paleontological Me-— ; moirs,’ vol. 11. pp. 249, 250, that Falconer was inclined to refer certain Italian and Sicilian molars to the present species. A molar from China identified by Busk‘* with this species is referred in this Catalogue (p. 169) to H. namadicus. All the following specimens appear to have belonged to the same individual. 32250-1. The associated right and left third upper true molars; (fig.) irom Kanus, Erzerum, Armenia, their geological age being unknown’. These and the following specimens are the types of the species.

(4-16). 18-27)" The frontal aspect of the cranium is elongated, the incisive alveoli are long and divergent, the temporal fossee intrude largely on to the frontal aspect, and the interval between the narial aperture and the approximately given as MM. 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 LH. 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 shght ; 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. 4. armeniacus, as mentioned above, is intermediate between the two in respect of molar-structure, although nearer to E. zndicus. - Hab. Northern Europe, Asia, and America. In England the species first appears in the Norfolk Forest-bed*, 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. —*, The cranium, with the well-worn m. 3 of either side in situ; from (Fig.) Ilford, Essex.
