NOTES ON THE REMAINING PORTIONS OF THE SKELETON 25 
curious and apparently unique upright position of the spines of the vertebral 
column, and the unexpectedly small size of the teeth in relation to the great bulk 
of the body. Should examination of further material eventually show that this 
form differs from the type so far as to warrant the erection of a sub-species, then 
it is to be hoped that the present specimen will be taken as the holotype, and that 
the sub-species will be named after Dr. Charles W. Andrews, who did so much to 
elucidate the early history of the Proboscidea.
