Fig. 1.—Elephas bombifrons. Broken cranium, palatal surface, 
with lass true molar on either side, that on the right side presenting 
8 ridges and a heel, and very fine.—B.M. 
Bhom anterior margin of occipital foramen to niche of palate, 14-in. Width of 
skull across oceipital foramen, 8:in. Length of palate from niche to commencement 
of diasteme, 10°7in. W idth of palate between molars in front, 2°in. Width

Figs. 2 and 2 a.—Z£. bombifrons. Broken cranium with last? true 
molar on either side of palate. The right molar has 8 ridges, of which 
the five anterior ones are much worn. The molars are approximated 
in front, and very divergent behind (Vide Plate XIX. A., 5).—B.M.

insignis. (Misnamed LZ. bombifrons on Plate.) 
Figs. 4 and 4a.—E. bombifrons. Upper last true molar, right side. 
This is a beautiful specimen, with a continuous transverse heel in ' 
front; 8 plates remaining ; the points are very numerous; no mesial 
division. The tooth is convex across (See note to Plate XXIV. A., 1.)

Figs. 1 and 1 a.—#. bombifrons. A mutilated lower jaw, short 
and thick in its build, with what is probably the third milk molar, 
and having the first true molar appearing in germ behind. The 
milk molar shows 6 ridges and a heel. Baker’s collection.—B.M.
