In comparison with the Mammoth, it appears that the glenoid cavity is not so com- 

 pressed laterally and is broader inferiorly in the larger scapula, as shown in Plate XVIII, 

 fig. 3, as opposed to the same parts in the Mammoth (Plate XXII, fig. 4, and Plate XV, 

 fig. 1). The neck, too, is relatively broader in the former. 



With reference to the localities where the fragments quoted in the Table were found, 

 No. 271 (Plate XXII, fig. 4) is a left scapula of the Mammoth in the Gunn Collection. 

 It was dredged off Yarmouth near Kessingland, but only a fragment of the blade, neck, 

 and glenoid cavity is preserved. No. 275 seems to have been dug out of the Eorest 

 Bed, as portions of the matrix still adhere to the bone. The second in the Table has 

 a label attached, stating that it was "found at Mundesley, after c a great run' on the 

 top of the Eorest Bed, consisting of nodules of blue clay mixed with red, gravelly pan, 

 and close to a jaw of Trogontherium^ In the British Museum there is a portion of a 

 glenoid cavity, the maximum width of which is 5' 5 inches, and another entire articular 

 surface; both are from Happisborough on the Norfolk coast. The height of the articular 

 surface of the latter is 9 inches by callipers, and 10 inches by tape along the curves of 

 the cavity ; width, 4 inches above, 4*5 at the middle, and 4*6 inches below.

The colossal dimensions of the Elephantine remains met with in the fluviomarine 

 and freshwater deposits of Norfolk and Suffolk coasts receive ample confirmation from the 



1 Nesti gives the following dimensions of the glenoid cavity of a scapula from Val d'Arno : — Height 

 0'291 metre, maximum breadth - l"0 (11*5 by 66 inches), breadth of neck 0380 metre= 15-0 inches. The 

 entire length of this scapula was 1-080 m., and spine, 900 m. • Nuovo Giorn. de Literat.,' No. 24, p. 194.
