■ELEPIIANTID^;. 83 



this and the following species is similar to that of the true 

 Elephants. The mandibular symphysis is produced into a spout-like 

 termination, as in E. indicus. The cranium has the fronto-parietal 

 region very convex, the constriction of the frontals by the temporal 

 fossae being more marked than in the other species. 



Bab. India (Punjab to Siwalik Hills) and (?) China 1 . The 

 species may perhaps also occur in Java. All the following specimens 

 are from the Pliocene of the Siwalik Hills. 



M. 2978. The cranium, showing the third true molars of both sides

M. 2979. The cranium, showing the third true molar in a half- 

 (Fig.) worn condition. Figured by Falconer and Cautley, op. cit. 



pi. xxvii., and pi. xxviii. figs. 1-4. There are eight or 



nine ridges in the molar.
