The plates of teeth in the Mukna 

 variety slope greatly backwards and are 

 excessively and finely crimped ; those of 

 Dauntela are much less crimped. 



" The specimens figured in Plates 

 xlvi. to Ivi. inclusive, are mostly in 



the British Museum, except where the 

 contrary is stated. Except in a few in- 

 stances, no attempt was made by Dr. F. to 

 df-termine the species of Proboscidean to 

 which the bone belonged.
