FOSSIL ELEPHANT. 



The Honorary Secretary reminded the members of the discovery made by 

 Mr. H. F. Beale in 1903 of the Fossil remains of a remarkably large extinct 

 species of elephant (Elephas namadicus), associated with bones of Hippopotamus 

 in the banks of the Godaveri river, near Nasik. It was with the greatest 

 reluctance that the Committee of the Society decided that owing to lack of 

 accommodation in its own museum, and in the absence of any Government 

 museum, it was useless to bring these interesting Fossils to Bombay.
