26 FAUNA ANTIQUA SIVALENSIS. 
the plates are ground down low. The side view, fig. 8 a, exhibits the 
thickness of the enamel. This specimen is too mutilated to fix its serial 
position with confidence. It is heavy and dark from iron impregnation, 
and corresponds with the fragments from Mundesley and Happisburgh, 
Norwich Museum, No. 18. 
Figs. 9 and 9 a.—Elephas meridionalis. The posterior two-thirds of 
the crown of a lower molar of the right side. It is inferred to bea 
penultimate, but without certainty, and may be the last true molar. 
The crown shows six well-worn discs and a posterior talon; there are 
no fangs; the enamel is very thic, with large rings to the digitations ; 
the discs are somewhat angularly expanded, and separated by wide 
interspaces of cement. This is best shown by the side view, fig. 9 a. 
From being worn low down, the plates exhibit a greater tendency to 
crimping than is usual. The specimen is dark and heavy, and bears 
fresh patches of marine incrust:tion. It is one of Woodward’s specimens, 
probably from the ‘ Oyster-Led’ (Norwich Museum, No. 14). ‘The 
dimensions are :— 
Length, 5°3in. Width of crown at second ridge, 8-2in. Width of crown at 
fourth ridge, 3:1 in. 
This is a characteristic fragment of KH. meridionalis. 
Figs. 10 and 10 a.—Elephas meridionalis. A specimen in Dr. 
Buckland’s collection from the Val d’Arno. It is figured to demonstrate 
how exactly the English specimens agree with the Italian form, as may 
be seen by comparing figs. 8 and Y with fig. 10. The fragment of 
lower jaw, although mutilated, shows well the long symphysis, and the 
gradual inclination of the diasteme into the beak.—B.M. 
Figs. 11 and 11 a.—Elephas meridionalis. 'The posterior portion of 
a last lower molar of the right side, including six discs of wear and the 
back talon. The discs are broad, the interspaces of cement the same, 
and the enamel plates are very thick, with deep external vertical 
channelling, but without crimping. The specimen is black, heavy, and 
bears patches of marine incrustation, indicative of its having been 
procured from the ‘Oyster-bed.’ From Woodward’s collection (Norwich 
Museum). The dimensions are :— 
Length, 5‘6in. Width of crown in front, 2°8in. Width of crown behind, 
3°1 in. 
This is also a characteristic specimen of HE. meridionalis. 
Figs. 12 and 12 a.—Elephas meridionalis. A very notable fragment 
of the posterior end of a last lower molar, comprising two discs of wear 
and a talon. The crown is ground down low, the interspaces of cement 
are very wide, and the annular discs of the digitations are so thick as 
to approach the character of the worn ridges of some of the Stegodons. 
The dimensions are :— 
Length of the fragment, 2°7in. Width of crown, 4:2 in. 
A solitary digitation is situated at the outer side of one of the valleys. 
It bears the appearance of a Mundesley specimen. 
Figs. 13 and 13 a.—Elephas meridionalis. A mutilated fragment of 
a very old upper molar, formerly in the collection of the late Dr. 
Mantell, and now in the collection of the British Museum (Old 
Paleontol. Cat. No. 7,456), comprising the remains of ten discs of wear, 
ground down nearly to their common base. The central discs exhibit 
a certain amount of open crimping. The specimen is also remarkable
