180 BRITISH AND EUROPEAN FOSSIL ELEPHANTS. 



talons. It is very perfect; and the loop and expansion, as in E. 

 antiquus, are typical. 



The collection of the Eev. John Gunn, at Irstead, contains a very- 

 characteristic third milk molar, lower jaw, left side, of E. antiquus 

 (East Coast, No. 2). It shows ten plates, all more or less ground, and 

 its dimensions are : — 



Length, 4-9 in. Width in front, 1-5 in. Width behind, 2- in. 



Lastly— Figs. 6 and 6 a, and figs. 7 and 7 a, of Plate XIV. A. of 

 the ' Fauna Ant. Sivalensis,' represent two specimens of the third upper 

 milk molar. Fig. 6 is taken from a specimen from Suffolk, presented 

 by Dr. Cooke to the Geological Society (No. 8,411); it is from the 

 right side, and has seven well-crimped plates, but is imperfect. 

 Length, 4'2 in. Width, 2-1 in. Height, 3- in. 



Fig. 7 is also from the right side, and shows nine well-crimped plates 

 and a portion of a tenth behind, where the tooth is not quite perfect. 

 The tooth is narrow in front and broader behind. (See Plate IX. figs. 

 1 & 2 of this volume.) 



Length, 5-4 in. Width, 2 in. Height behind, 2-5 in. 



c. Upper True Molars. — Among Mr. Dixon's specimens in the 

 Palreontological collection of the British Museum, No. 28,512 is a 

 fine specimen of the first true molar, upper jaw, right side. It is entire, 

 with fangs. The crown is composed of twelve ridges ; the nine anterior 

 ridges are worn. The tooth is excessively like one belonging to Mr. 

 Rupert Jones, from Suffolk, but is narrower. 



Length of crown, 77 in. Width in front, 2-2 in. Greatest width, 27 in. 

 Height at 9th ridge, 5'4 in. 



The corresponding tooth of opposite side has also twelve ridges. 

 Dimensions of Mr. Rupert Jones's specimen : — 



Length of crown, 86 in. Width in front, 27 in. Greatest width, 3-2 in. Height 

 at 9th ridge, 7'5 in. 



Another specimen in the British Museum (No. 18,789) of the same 

 tooth has ten ridges, seven of which are worn. 



Length of crown, 5-9 in. Width in front, 2-1 in. Width behind, 1-8 in. Height 

 at 7th ridge, 4'6 in. 



In the Museum of the Geological Society there is a specimen of the 

 antepenultimate true molar, upper jaw, right side, of Euelephas anti- 

 quus, labelled No. 8,409, as being from Southwold. It is entirely free 

 from mineral impregnation, and I doubt its asserted Southwold origin. 



In the Museum at Taunton, among the specimens collected from the 

 caves by the late Rev. Mr. Williams, there is a very fine molar, upper 

 jaw, right side ; crown worn, but quite perfect, showing twelve prin- 

 cipal ridges, with talons. The front talon is confluent with the anterior 

 disc; the hind talon is unworn. The twelve ridges all worn into discs; 

 the discs are a little expanded ; machserides raised ; enamel irregu- 

 larly but well plaited; front fang and surface of pressure present. This 

 tooth is convex outside and concave on the inner side ; the plane of 

 wear slopes from inside, out. It is not known which cave the specimen 

 is from, but it is supposed to be from Bleadon, most of Mr. Williams's 

 specimens being from Bleadon. 



Length of crown, 7'2in. Width of crown at 2nd ridge, 2-3 in. Width behind, 

 at 8th, 2-8 in. Height of crown at 9th, 56 in.
