1 1 A toiith of 1 1 |ilales ami 2 ta'ons, 4.') to M millimet«Ts liroa<l ami loij 

 millim. lon<; with a height of 125 nnn in inaximo, is a trne molar, thongh not tliu 

 last one, of the upjier jaw of a eoinininitively large, though not |ierfeutly fnll- 

 grown animal. The narrowness of tlie erown together with the nither largi) 

 mimU-r of plates, and the .slight dilatation of the plates in the median line of 

 the tooth, which in spite of the ohiong (ncjirly linear) sh.ipe of the plate» is 

 distinctly to he seen, makes it (piite certain tliat we have to deal with Klephas 

 (iiiti<iHiis Kaieoner. The eoinpiratively le.»w .solid and much folded enaniel-eoats 

 of the plates give a further dilVerenee from E. meridionalis Nesti, which is 

 chielly distingnished liy the smaller nnmU-r of i>lates; E. priiuigenins I'lmnen- 

 Uwli, on the other hiind, has nu dilatation of the plat«8 in the central pirlof the 

 tooth, thongh in other respi-ets its chanictei-s are tjiiite similar. 



This specimen has l)een rec-eiitly found in the I'rovincv of Kishiu, not far 

 from the southern e.xfremity of the main-Island, south of Os.ika. Although, 

 like the first specimen of E. meriilionalis, it does not prop'.^'rly lielong to the 

 district we are descrihing, yet the distiuicv of the loc-jviity in Which it Wiis found 

 is not BO great, that it ncx'd be excluded from our list, which is far from lieing a 

 long one. 



2) The second s|)irimen which undouhteilly n-pn-sents iin upjHT Iimt molar 

 of a somewhat oliler individual, is 14(J nun long and TitJ nun hrcuid with J2'' of 

 height in maximo, ami has 14 plates. A jKirt of the Imith (anteriorly) Iving 

 broken olf, we catuiot s;iy what h:uH lieen the real niunl>er of plates. Most 

 likely, there were hut very few niore. The plates exhihit all the clianvcte|-s of 

 /•Jlfjihit." aiititiilHS Falriiiier: the eii:iliiel-l:iM'rs are slill ni.'ri' f'uldi-il Jiml 



com|iamtively weak. 



'Ihis s|ie(-imen has Is-en t'oiind at Kiliara .Mura, a village tH)rdering the 

 ftliove-mentioned lake, the Kasumiga-l'ra, north of Tokio (I'rovince liidm'hil, and 

 is .said to have liei'ii found under the surt'aee of the water. 



3) The third S|iecimen, a mandible, found in a deep cutting— acconling to 

 what is iulde<l, most likely a gnivel-cutting— near Yokosuka( Province of Snpimi)
