M. 8852. Palatal portion o£ skull with m. 1-3 and pm. 3-4 on left side^ m. 2, 3 on right. 



Length of molar series 14*5 cm. Presented by the Egyptian Government, 1904, 



C. 8111. Palatal region and basis of skull : the right zygomatic arch also present. The form of 



the palate is well shown in this specimen ; it is slightly concave from side to side and 



is widest opposite m. 1, where its width is 7' 5 cm. The maxillae diverge slightly from 



one another in the middle line and end in a point anteriorly : at the upper and outer 



side of this anterior region there is a deep concavity running forwards and downwards 



and marking the position of the alveolus of the tusk, so that, as in Mceritherium and 



Elephas, the maxilla seems to have extended forwards beneath the premaxillae and 



helped to support the tusks, and may even have formed part of the hinder border 



of their alveoli. Length from occipital condyle to ends of maxillae 66 cm. The 



dimensions (in centimetres) of the teeth are : — 



Length. Width.
