133 BRITISH AND EUROPEAN FOSSIL ELEPHANTS. 



shown. This also belonged to Mr. S. Woodward, and is now 

 in the Norwich Museum. It has all the mineral appearance 

 of the Mundesley and Happisburgh beds. 

 f 'Tigs. 8 and 8 a represent the anterior portion of a lower 

 * 'right molar, comprising the remains of six well-worn ridges. 

 It is cited to show the angular flexures that are sometimes 

 seen when the plates are ground down low. The side view, 

 fig. 8 a, exhibits the thickness of the enamel. This specimen 

 is too mutilated to fix its serial position with confidence. It 

 is heavy and dark from iron-impregnation, and corresponds 

 with the fragments from Mundesley and Happisburgh. 



Figs. 9 and 9 a represent the posterior two-thirds of the 

 crown of a lower molar of the right side. It is inferred to 

 be a penultimate, but without certainty, and may be the last 

 true molar. The crown shows six well-worn discs and a 

 posterior talon ; there are no fangs ; the enamel is very 

 thick, with large rings to the digitations ; the discs are 

 somewhat angularly expanded, and separated by wide inter- 

 spaces of cement. This is best shown by the side view, fig. 

 9 a. From being worn low down, the plates exhibit a greater 

 tendency to crimping than is usual. The specimen is dark 

 and heavy, and bears fresh patches of marine incrustation. 

 It is one of Woodward's specimens, probably from the ' Oyster- 

 bed' (Norwich Museum). 



The dimensions are : — 



Length, 5-3 in. Width of crown at second ridge, 3 - 2 in. Width of crown at 

 fourth ridge, 3'1 in. 



This also is a characteristic fragment of E. meridionalis. 



Figs. 10 and 10 a are of a specimen in Dr. Buckland's 

 collection from the Val d'Arno. It is noticed to demonstrate 

 how exactly the English specimens agree with the Italian 

 form, as may be seen by comparing figs. 8 and 9 with fig. 10. 



Figs. 11 and 11 a represent the posterior portion of a last 

 lower molar of the right side, including six discs of wear 

 and the back talon. The discs are broad, the interspaces of 

 cement the same, and the enamel-plates are very thick, with 

 deep external vertical channelling, but without crimping. 

 The specimen is black, heavy, and bears patches of marine 

 incrustation, indicative of its having been procured from 

 the ' Oyster-bed.' From Woodward's collection (Norwich 

 Museum). 



The dimensions are : — 



Length, 5 - 6 in. Width of crown in front, 2-8 in. Width of crown behind, 3-1 in. 



This is also a characteristic specimen of E. meridionalis. 



Figs. 12 and 12 a represent a very notable fragment of the 

 posterior end of a last lower molar, comprising two discs of
