DESCEIPTION OF PLATES. 



455 



tusks, of E. Ganesa, oblique antero-lateral view, one-thirteenth of 

 natural size. 



Fig. 2. — Ditto, ditto, front view. 



Plate XXIV. 



Figs. 1 and 1 a. — Elephas Ganesa. Fi-agment of right upper jaw 

 with first true molar. The tooth has six ridges and a heel ; five ridges 

 worn. From Baker's collection. 



Length of molar, 6-1 in. Width in front at second ridge, 2-5 in. Width behind, 

 3- in. 



Figs. 2 and 2 a. — E. Ganesa. Fragment of upper jaw with second ? 

 true molar presenting seven ridges. 



Length of molar, 7'5 in. Width in front, 3-1 in. Width behind, 3-4 in. 



Figs. 3 and 3 a. — E. Ganesa. Upper jaw, right side, with three 

 ridges of first true molar, and entire penultimate. The latter has seven 

 ridges and a heel ; no cement ; plates unworn. Closely resembles E. 

 insignis. — B.M. 



Length of penidtimate molar, 9 in. Width, 4 in. 



Figs. 4 and 4 a. — E. Ganesa. Fragment of last molar, upper jaw, 

 right side. Fangs confluent ; six ridges and a heel ; discs of vrear 

 very large ; the last ridge has seven denticles. — B.M. 

 Length of molar, 9'2 in. Width, 4'2 in. 



Figs. 5 and 5 a.—E. Ganesa. Fragment of upper last ? molar, right 

 side, very large ; shows six ridges, or five and a heel, very compressed ; 

 nine denticles on fourth ridge. — B.M. 



Length of molar fragment, 7'4 in. Width, 4'3 in. 



Figs. 6 and 6 a. — Elephas insignis. This is a very instructive speci- 

 men, consisting of the palate, with penultimate and antepenultimate 

 true molars on both sides, from an animal of medium size. The ante- 

 penultimate has seven ridges, all worn but the last, and a small heel. 

 The penultimate or second true molar is entirely in germ ; it consists 

 of eight main ridges and a front ridge, but has no heel. This is a cha- 

 racteristic type of true E. insignis, with the ridges very high and com- 

 pressed. There are abotit ten points or denticles to the fifth ridge of 

 the penultimate tooth, this being about the average ; this tooth has no 

 cement between the plates, only matrix. The front, or antepenulti- 

 mate, tooth has plenty of cement. There are small tusks on both sides. 

 Compare with Plate XIX. 5. 



Length of antepenultimate, 6'8 in. Width, 3'2 in. Length of penultimate, 

 8-5 in. Width, 3-6 in. 



Plate XXIV. A. 



Figs. 1 and 1 a. — Elephas Ganesa. Fragment of skull with palate 

 and back molars on both sides. This is a most remarkable specimen. 

 I have called it E. Ganesa (H. F.), and it much resembles the molar 

 of the big Ganesa specimen (Plate XXII. fig. 2) in form and in the 

 compression of the ridges, but the ridges are few.^ — B.M. 



' Another specimen of Mr. Cunlifife's 

 in Geological Society, not figured, is 

 also very remarkable. Shows the palate 



with two last molars on both sides in 

 situ. The front tooth has four plates, 

 much worn and very crimped. The
