which may pretty safely be referred to the present species, although 

 it was described by Leith-Adams, in the ' Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc' 

 vol. xxiv. p. 496, as belonging to E. indicus 1 . This specimen is 

 undoubtedly specifically identical with the Japanese specimens de- 

 scribed by Naumann, one of which (pi. vii.) was obtained from the 

 neighbourhood of Tokio ; the third lower true molar in these 

 specimens (pi. vi.) has but sixteen ridges, and therefore differs 

 widely from m . 3 of E indicus. 



All the following specimens are from the Narbada Valley, and, unless 

 otherwise indicated, were presented by G. Eraser, Esq., 1849. 



M. 3092. The cranium, wanting the incisive alveoli, but showing 



{Fig.) portions of the third true molar of either side. This 



specimen is figured by Falconer and Cautley in the 



' Fauna Antiqua Sivalensis,' pis. xii. A. and xii. b. figs. 1-3, 



and is the type of the species. 



Purchased from the Directors of the United Service Museum. 



M. 3093. The imperfect immature cranium, showing portions of the 

 {Fig.) first (?) true molar. Figured by Falconer and Cautley, op. 

 cit. pi. xxiv. a. figs. 4, 4 a. The frontal ridge is compara- 

 tively small, leaving a large flat space above the nasal 

 aperture. There is a fragment of the right incisor of the 

 same individual. 



36687. Fragment of the palate, showing the imperfect and half- 

 {Fig.) worn m- 3 of either side. Figured by Falconer and 

 Cautley, op. cit. pi. xiii. figs. 2, 2 a. 



Presented by the Secretary of State for India, I860. 



M. 3094. Fragment of the left maxilla, containing the hinder half 

 of the well-worn m- 3 . 



29007. The hinder half of a third left upper true molar, provi- 

 sionally referred to this species ; from the Pleistocene of 

 China. This specimen is noticed by Busk in the ' Quart. 

 Journ. Geol. Soc' vol. xxiv. p. 498 (1868), where it is 

 referred to E. armeniacus. It agrees, however, very closely 

 with Nos. 36687 and M. 3094, and shows the deep grooving 

 of the enamel characteristic of this species and E. antiquus ; 

 the ridges are farther apart than in E. armeniacus, and 

 their wear is different. 



Purchased from D. Hanbury, Esq., 1854. 



1 A cast of this specimen, which the writer has compared with the specimens 

 in the Museum, is preserved in the Museum of the Geological Society.
