36 FAUNA ANTIQUA SIVALENSIS. 
Length of back molar, 9:7 in. Width, 3°8 in. Width of palate in front, 2° in. 
Width behind, 2°8 in. 
Figs. 2, 2 a, and 2 b.—Elephas insignis. Small broken head. This 
is a’very remarkable specimen. The teeth, although small, are assuredly 
the first and second true molars. The front tooth has six ridges and a 
heel; the penultimate has only seven ridges and a large heel, with a 
distinct talon in front; all the ridges of the front tooth worn; very 
little cement; plates deep. The tusks, if any, have dropped out; two 
large sub-orbitary foramina.—B.M. 
Extreme length of skull, 18:in. Length of incisives, 15°8 in. Width between 
orbits measured to lachrymal tubercle, 7°8 in. Contraction of muzzle at suborbi- 
taries, 11°9 in.” Width of muzzle at tip, 9°2 in. Width between outer surfaces of 
maxillaries at the back molar (beginning), 8°-4in. Length from diasteme to tip of 
tusk-sheaths, $-°3in. Depth from pterygoid to front, 14°7 in. Length of anterior 
molar, 4°9 in. Width, 2:7 in. Width of palate between front molars anteriorly, 
1°5 in. Ditto behind, 2-2 in. Length of penultimate molar, 7-4 in. Width, 
3° in. 
Figs. 3 and 3 a.—E. insignis. Lower jaw, with first and second 
true molars. Five ridges remaining of front molar; other molar has 
twelve main ridges and a heel. Besides the characters shown in the 
figure, the diastemal portion is very much flattened in front of the an- 
terior molar. This remarkable specimen is in the Museum of the Col- 
lege of Surgeons; the drawing is taken from a cast. 
Extreme length of fragment of jaw, 24: in. Height to alveolus, 9° in. Width 
of jaw in front, 4°8 in. Width behind, 75 in. Length of ascending ramus, 12:8 
in. Length of front molar, 5°in. Width, 3:5 in. Length of last molar, 11°65 in. 
Width, 4: in. 
Figs. 4 and 4 a.—Hlephas Namadicus (Fale. and Caut.). From the 
Nerbudda. Small head with two molars 7n situ; one worn, but the back 
one in germ; probably the first and second true molars. The right 
tusk is present; is very large for size of head; is nearly circular in 
outline, and diverges greatly in front. The tusk-sheaths are long, as in 
E. Indicus and E. primigenius. The brow-ridge, &c., are exactly as 
in the large head of HL. Namadicus (Plate XII. A.). The space between 
the tusk-sheaths is very shallow, as in H. planifrons. Is probably a 
young male head.—B.M. 
Extreme length from broken occiput to broken incisive, 29: in. From groove of 
brow to tip of nasals, 6-1 in. Across nasal opening, 12°5 in. Height of nasal 
opening at sides, 3°6 in. Width of muzzle (incisive sheaths) at orbital foramen, 
13:in. From top of incisive sheath at fissure to diasteme, 9°8 in. Antero-poste- 
rior diameter of left orbit, 5-9 in. Transverse diameter of right tusk, 3°6 in.; ver- 
tical, nearly the same. Width of palate in front, 1°6 in. Width of palate behind, 
2:7 in. Width of front tooth, 2°6 in.
