interior of the band, in addition to the line at the end of the band 

 away from the fork. If the amplitude of the fork dies down still 

 further or the pressure between the card and the fork is increased, 

 the lines disappear from the interior of the band and that at the end 

 next to the fork becomes as strongly marked as the line at the other 

 end. This, of course, indicates that contact has ceased to be broken, 

 and the only audible note given by the card is now the fundamental 

 note of the fork.

(Abstract.) 



This paper is a continuation of one already published,* " On the 

 Discovery of a Pigmy Elephant in the Pleistocene of Cyprus," and 

 enters into a detailed description of the teeth of this small proboscidean,, 

 whose remains are now in the British Museum of Natural History. 



The collection includes incisors, milk molars, and permanent molars. 

 Several of the latter still retain their position in the jaws and, in some 

 instances, the teeth of both sides of the same individual were found. 



The permanent incisor tusks of two forms, presumably belonging to- 

 males and females, were found. They differ from the same teeth of 

 the Maltese dwarf elephants in being considerably compressed laterally- 

 The largest specimen measures 29 '7 cm. along the outside of the curve, 

 with a maximum diameter of 3 '7 cm. 



Of the upper cheek teeth the third and fourth of the milk series as- 

 well as the three permanent molars are described in detail. There was- 

 a small third milk molar (mm. 2) implanted by a single root, but no- 

 specimen was collected. Of the lower series the third and fourth milk 

 molars and the three permanent teeth were represented by numerous 

 examples and are fully described. An almost entire left ramus of one 

 young individual and the symphysial portion of another are also- 

 described. The only limb bone obtained was the distal portion of a 

 femur. 



A corrected ridge formula for the molars of E. Cypriotes is furnished, 

 which, exclusive of talons, will stand as follows :
