1 The designation of E/asmodus having 
been preoccupied by Sir Philip Egerton 
for a series of fossil fish, Dr. F., in 1857 
substituted the term Huwelephas for 
Elasmodon. 
?This is erroneously designated F. 
antiquus in the plate (see note, page 23). 
The illustration is taken from Nesti’s 
figure. The skull is nearly perfect in 
the frontal and occipital regions, con- 
dyles, naxillaries, and molars, but im- 
perfect in the facial portion, the border 
of the nasal opening being broken, to- 
gether with the terminal portion of the 
incisive alveoli and zygomatic arches. 
The line formed by the posterior border 
of the vertex is transverse, the fossa 
being overarched by a produced fold of 
the vertex.
