24 FAUNA ANTIQUA SIVALENSIS. 
without fangs, and a good deal rolled. The crown is composed of six 
principal ridges, besides front and back talons. It was compared with the 
corresponding tooth of E. (Loxodon) planifrons, which it resembles 
very closely, but it has a broader crown. The dimensions are :— 
Length, 2°6 in. Width of crown at first plate, 115 in. Width of crown behind, 
1-4in. Height of crown at fifth ridge, 1°55 in. 
The corresponding tooth of £. (Hueleph.) antiquus and of EH. primi- 
genius yields normally eight transverse plates. The precise origin of 
the specimen is not recorded; but it is supposed to have belonged to 
Mr. Samuel Woodward, and to have been derived from the Norfolk 
coast. Norwich Museum, No. 11. 
Figs. 2 and 2 a.—Elephas meridionalis. Another example of the 
same tooth, a penultimate upper milk molar, right side, discovered in 
the Norwich Crag at Easton, Suffolk, by Captain Alexander. It pre- 
sents six ridges, well advanced in wear. Norwich Museum. The di- 
mensions are :— 
Length, 24 in. Width in front, 1:0 in. Width behind, 1-6 in. 
Figs. 3 and 8. a.—Elephas meridionalis. Another well-worn penulti- 
mate milk molar, probably of the lower (?) jaw, right side. It is of a 
larger size than the others, but shows the same number of plates, 
namely six, with talons. It is very broad in the crown relatively to 
the length. The discs of the ridges are very wide, like the Italian 
specimens. This molar belonged to the collection of Mr. Samuel 
Woodward; it is now in the Norwich Museum. It is heavy and 
dark-coloured, and bears fresh patches of marine incrustation, and 
may have come from the ‘ oyster-bed’ of Mundesley and Happisburgh.

meridionalis, he had, in order to prevent 
confusion, continued in the subsequent 
plates the nomenclature adopted in the 
earlier ones, intending to give a full ex- 
planation of the whole in the letter- 
press, and he concludes as follows :—* I 
beg leave to explain now that all the 
plates bearing the name of FE. meridion- 
alis in the “ Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,” 
including the outline figures of crania in 
Plate xlii., belong to E. antiquus, while 
those that bear the latter name belong to 
E. (Loxodon) meridionalis. In the descrip- 
tions which follow they will be cited as 
such,’—Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., August, 
1865, p. 281. According to this correc- 
tion, all the figuresin Plate xiv. B., except 
10, 17, and 18, should belong to E. anti- 
quus, although mostly from the Crag 
and some even from the Val d’Arno! 
The correction, moreover, is incom- 
patible with the description and identifi- 
cation of every figure in Plate xiv. B., 
given in a subsequent part of the same 
memoir, and extracted above, according 
to which every figure in the plate, with 
the single exception of fig. 16, belongs 
to E. meridionalis. The fact is that the 
descriptions in Dr. F.’s memoir on Ele- 
phant were taken, in 1857, from a proof 
copy of the plate, in which all the figures 
were designated E.antiquus, but that in the 
plate as published in 1847, Dr. F. had 
actually corrected the designations of 
most of the figures. 
The proof copy has been deposited in 
the Library of the Geological Depart- 
ment of the British Museum.—[ Ep. ]
