ELEPHAXTIDiE. 123 



England it certainly ranges from the Forest-bed to the close of 

 the Pleistocene \ and it probably occurs in the Norwich Crag (vide 

 infra, p. 124) ; specimens from the Red Crag have been figured by 

 Leith- Adams 2 , and provisionally referred to this species, but the 

 writer considers it more probable that they belong to E. meridionalis. 

 It not improbably occurs also in the Lower Pleistocene of North 

 Africa 3 ; in which region there also occurs E. atlanticus, Pomel 4 , of 

 the Upper Pleistocene, which appears to be a form connecting 

 E. antiquus with E. africanus. 



38491. The palate, showing the imperfect m. 3 of either side in a 

 comparatively early stage of wear ; from the Pleistocene 

 of Peckham, Surrey. This specimen is described by 

 Leith-Adams in his ' British Fossil Elephants ' (Mon. Pal. 

 Soc), p. 39. Purchased, 1864. 



21301. The palate, showing mm. 4 of either side in a half-worn 



(Fig.) condition ; from the Pleistocene of Grays, Essex. This 



specimen is described and figured by Leith-Adams, op. cit. 



pp. 16, 17, pi. i. fig. 4, and is noticed in ' Falconer's Palse- 



ontological Memoirs,' vol. ii. p. 177. Purchased, 1847. 



33369. Fragment of the left maxilla, containing the half-worn and 

 imperfect first upper true molar; dredged off Happisburgh, 

 Norfolk. Layton Collection. Purchased, 1858. 



27914. Part of the left maxilla, containing the half-worn mm. 4 ; 

 from the Pleistocene of Clacton, Essex. Noticed by Leith- 

 Adams, op. cit. p. 17. 



Presented by John Brown, Esq., 1852. 



27991. Fragment of the left maxilla, containing the imperfect 

 mm. 3 in a half- worn condition ; from Clacton. Noticed 

 by Leith-Adams, op. cit. p. 14. 



, Presented by John Brown, Esq., 1852. 



44783. Fragment of the left maxilla of a very young individual, 

 showing mm. 2 and mm. 3 ; locality unknown. This speci- 

 men is noticed by Leith-Adams, op. cit. pp. 9, 13; there are 

 six ridges in mm. 3 , which is but slightly worn ; its crown 

 is relatively longer and less oval-shaped than in mm. 3 of 

 E. primigenius. Presented by B. Bright^ Esq., 1873.
